📕1.Be2! Trying to maneuver the bishop to the effective g4 square.

Aiming at the weakness on c6.

⚪️ #30 (Strategy - White To Move)

📕Black is going to attack c4 by playing Nbd7 and moving one of the rooks to c8. After that white should support the pawn by playing b3. After b3 the queen's position on a4 seems awkward, So:
1.Qc2!
