⚪️#207 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Pelletier,Y
🔸Sebag,M
🔸French Team Championship, 2007

📕 24.Ne1!
A key move. The knight is heading for the protected square at c5, where it will attack the weak pawns on b7 and e6, while restricting Black on the open file.
24.Ne3?! Rfc8
24.g3 f4!

⚪️#208 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Kasparov,G
🔸Beliavsky,A
🔸Moscow 1983

📕 26.Kf2!
A clever move that improves the king and clears the path for the rook. Black is completely helpless.
26.a5 Nc7
26.Nc4? Nf4 -/+
