Dmitry's blunder. He puts his king on the same file as an enemy rook and also with his own queen on a5-d8 diagonal. everything is ready for a combination.

A very strong move to restrict Black bishop. A pawn move of this type doesn't dazzle us like a storming piece sacrifice or an 'acrobatic' piece maneuver.On the other hand, it plays a vital role in the defeat of the strongest ever Grandmaster of the former East Germany. You should try to find these quiet, unobtrusive pawn moves in your own games as they are the hallmark of positional understanding.
