White's blunder in an equal position allows black king to penetrate through e4. Correct continuation is 👇
1.Nf6! (with the idea of N.g4! and Kg5=)🔺

🔺The uncommon move g4 has initially been played successfully by Garry Kasparov against Boris Spassky. The idea of this move is to launch an early attack to the kingside by playing Ng3 which also increases white's control over e4.🔺
🔺Jobava's interesting sacrifice came as a surprise:
1. N.f6! K.f6 2.d.e5 Kf7 3.e6!+ K.e6 4.e4 Ng7 5.Qa2+ Kd6 6.Rc1!
white has compensation for the material.🔺

🔺Instead of the winning move Ra7 Caruana could finish off the game immediately by Rg5 and forced mate.🔺

white has the upper hand after this move; however, he could have a decisive advantage after Nd8!!

This is an important moment to choose a plan. The only open file is the d-file,whereas White can exert pressure along the half-open f-file. Moreover, White possesses the bishop pair, and the light squares may play an important role. 1.Qf1! A beautiful, multi functional move. White increases the pressure along the f-file, while the queen vacates the d1 -square for the queen's rook. In some cases, the queen can try to take the
black position under control from the beautiful c4-square. 🔹

1.Nb1!! Please write down two exclamation marks! And be honest: did you consider this move? If yes, then you have good positional feeling! If no, this isn't the end of the world, but in that case you will have learned something important now. In the further course of the game it will become clear that after this move the knight fulfils an important role in
the white concept. The knight will be repositioned on f3 , where it can lend
a hand with the intended kingside attack. In passing, it will also attack the
annoying intruder on h4, which will have to make way, since a trade of knight
against bishop would weaken the dark squares on Black's kingside still further.
Moreover, White will take aim at the pawn on e5, giving Black still more
problems to deal with. And the quiet knight move has yet another merit: after
8 .. R.d2 White can comfortably take back with the knight. Also, the threat of
c2-c3 has become acute, with which the
black knight will be driven away from
b4 and the pawn on c6 will be hanging.. 🔹
