Verifying Schandorff Playing 1.d4 Indian Defences

Schandorff proposes the Saemisch against the King's Indian but black can transpose into a Maroczy Bind. The repertoire plan revolves around game #24 where in the main line, Schandorff goes against common practice and proposes trading dark bishops for an attack.

Here is the key game.

The basic idea is to get an kingside attack going. White has Nd5 and Re3-h3 in mind(with Qh6) and either central pawn break f5 or e5 is possible.

Critical Position 1
White has just attacked the queen with 19.Rb3. What do you suggest for black?

• 19...Qd8
• 19...Qc7
• Something else
