15. ... Rh8-e8
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black develops his h8-rook and contests the e-file. Black wants to simplify the position with view towards reducing the potential attacking force against his king. He is hoping to activate his a8-rook on e8 after 16. Rxe8+ Kxe8 followed ... Kf8.
