📕 15.f4!
A powerful thrust that creates new opportunities on the kingside. White now threatens f5-f6 in order to soften up the f6-square, while e4-e5, seizing the center, might also come into consideration.
15.e4 This move weakens the d3- square 15...Nc5! 16.f4 Nd3 With counterplay.
15.b4 also made sense, with a fight for the queenside. After 15...cxb3 (15...Qxa3?? 16.Ra1+-) 16.Nxb3 Qd8 followed by ...Bf6, there are chances for both sides.
