πŸ“˜ 23...Ng8!

With the idea of transferring the knight to f6, having an eye over e4 pawn and g4 square.
βšͺ️ #31 (Strategy - White To Move)
πŸ“•#31 1.Qe1!Β± A subtle positional maneuver. Transferring the queen to f2 reveals the Achilles heel of Black’s defensive formation – the
b6-square. In addition, there is an impending threat of f4-f5 with the opening of the f-file (Vassily Smyslov).
It would be less precise to carry out the same plan by means of 16.Qc2(d2) because of the reply 16...b5, and the
bishop’s retreat to e2 blocks the queen’s route to f2.
βšͺ️ #32 (Strategy - White To Move)
πŸ“•#32 The splendid maneuver 1.Ne1! with the idea of Nd3 and f2-f4, is a logical continuation of the plan: his opponent has
little to counter the white pressure in the center.
