17.Na2!
QUESTION: What is the logic behind this knight retreat? ANSWER: By moving the knight to a2, White has three objectives. The first is to prevent any possible rook sacrifices on the c3-knight. Secondly, White clears the third rank for defensive purposes by the queen and later a rook on h3. Thirdly, the move also discourages Black from advancing 17...b4 as after 18 axb4 Nxb4 19 Nxb4 Bxb4 the exchange of knights nips any possible black attack in the bud.
17...Qb6 18.Qd3 Kd8 19.Rh3+/-
The rook lift tells Black's king that even on the queenside, he will not be safe as the rook can now swing to b3 or c3.
