📘 10...Qa5
One of the typical plans of the player who is fighting against the hanging pawns is puting pressure on them by pieces. As b6 is not playable on account of Ne5 black can try Na5, Bd7, Rc8 to press c4. Then, if white plays c5, black plants a piece on the important d5 square and increases his control over light squares.

📘 The knight on c6 is poorly placed on the half open c file. It is not protected by a pawn and has blocked c7.
14...Nd8!
Intending Ne6 and c5 to attack d4.

📘 In the game Ivanchuk gave counterplay to his opponent by taking a pawn:
49...Q.e5? 50. Qf7!=
He could deprive his opponent of any counterplay by playing 49 ..Qb4!!
Now white's queen is stuck to defending the mate on g4 while he can hardly find a way to cope with the Qe4 threat.

This is not the first time that Ivanchuk has tried this sideline! The idea of this move, which has been first played by Reshevsky is preventing white from playing b4 freely. Black in some cases may have the possibility of a4 if white plays a3.
📘 37.Kf3+-
A winning endgame with opposite colored bishops!
- White is a pawn up
- Black pawn structure on the kingsise is totally damaged.
- f5 and h5 are fixed on light squares and will be taken if black king leaves them unprotected.
- Black has an inactive bishop.
- White has a nice maneuver to invade queenside.

📘 This line is named after Gurgenidze. A common continuation in the first years of this variation was 5...h5 6. Nf3 Nh6 7.Be3 Bg4 8.h3 Nf5 9.Bf2 B.f3 10.Q.f3 h4 planning e6, Bf8 and c5 at the right moment. Black typically looks for blockade in the 5...h5 line. The modern approach in this variation is 5...Nh6 which will be followed by f6 soon.
