📕 19...Bb4!
Nimzowitsch exchanges his bad bishop for opponent's good one. After getting rid of White's dark-squared bishop, he can exploit the outpost square on e3 by his rook.
19...Re3 This exchange sacrifice maybe gives black some compensation but Black doesn't need to do that.
19...Qxb2? allows 20.Rb1 Qxa2 21.Ra1 Qb2 22.Rb1 leading to draw by repetition.

📕 28...Nd8!
the knight heads for f7, after which moving the bishop from d6 will clear the way for ...Nd6 and ...Ne4. It also opens the path of the Queen to attack the weak e3-pawn.
