Qb2 is a good move but in the spirit of offering decent alternatives where possible i like 24.Qc3 a tad better
The d2 night is still protected.. we can still occupy the a file with our rook(s) and the Q can now shift to the King Side more readily from c3 then from b2 should BL try any Monkey business in the center such as exchanging on e6

24.Qc3 for me Regards
Steve
To be honest, I don't think there's much on the kingside for us now. However, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. :P

Hehe (rubs hands gleefully...)

I actually wanted Nf3 but that would be pointless considering the current vote.

Let's flip a coin...heads its Qb2, tails its Qc3.

Tails.... Qc3

I better go and see what it does now.

There's not much on the king side. Queen alone can't do anything. We would need atleast 3 pieces to launch an attack there. Since there aren't any then...

Qb2.
