14...Qe7
Black makes another multi-purpose move. The developing move 14...Qe7 doubles the heavy pieces on the e-file, opens the back rank for tripling with ...Re8, and prevents the White Knight from moving to a3. With all three of its developing squares unavailable, the Knight can't get into the game. Furthermore, the Knight's inability to move prevents the Queen's Rook from getting into the game.

Next move: 15.Bd3
