The d5 outpost calls for a knight maneuver!
1.Nh4! g6 2.Ng2! +/- planning Ne3 and Nd5 in future. Note that white by playing c4 can increase his control over d5 outpost while the other double pawn can prevent black pieces from reaching d4.
Great job by strong double pawns!

📘 28.h4! idea h5
White is up the exchange for a pawn and before initiates his main attack, he gains more space on the kingside.

📘 6.h3 with the idea of pushing the g pawn was Fischer's pet variation in early 60s. Similar to Keres variation, white increases his spatial advantage on the kingside and his control over d5 square by g4-g5. In recent years, this variation has been played by Carlsen, Anand, and Shirov. 6.Rg1 with a similar idea of g4-g5 has also been tested in this position.
📘 7...Q.d5!? to transfer the queen to h5 after an exchange on c3.
📘 17.b4!
A) 17...Q.b4 18.Rab1 is in white's favor.
B) 17... B.b4 18.c5! cuts off the bishop and plans to transfer the knight to the d6 outpost.
C) 17...Qd8 18.d5! opens up central lines to utilize the development advantage.
