⚫️#567 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Rubingh,O
🔸Sadler,M
🔸Dutch League, 2002

13...c6!
A typical move, restricting the bishop on g2 and preparing to bring the knight on a6 into play.
14.Qd2 Qg6 15.Na4 Nc7

⚫️#568 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Yermolinsky,A
🔸Speelman,J
🔸Hastings, 1996

12...Rb8
A very subtle move! The move has a number of good general points without having any specific purpose: a) The rook moves off the long diagonal and away from a potential attack by the bishop on g2. b) The rook eyes the unprotected b2-pawn which can be handy after ...c5; dxc5 bxc5, or ... d5; c5 bxc5. I really like the move. Black is holding back committing himself, making use of the fact that White is not threatening anything at the moment.
13.Ne5 Rc8?!
Just adjusting a little bit! Protecting the c6-pawn so that Black can chase away the knight with ...d6 (13.b5).
14.Qe2 d6 15.Nf3 Qc7 16.Bh3 Rfe8 17.Rc3 Rcd8 18.Rfc1 g6 19.Qc2
White has lined up completely on the c-file to make the advance ...d5 unattractive so...
19...c5
Black goes for another break!
