Black to move
Redirecting the idle knight to h6, where it will be helpful in exploiting in the complex of weak squares on g4, f5 and e4.
2.Ree1 N8f7 3.Nh2 Nh6 4.Ngf1 Bf5!
Challenging the main defender of the e4-square.
5.Be2
After 5.Bxf5 Nhxf5 , followed by ...Ne4+, White also has a hard time.
5...Ne4+ 6.Kg1 g5!?
After seizing the centre Black starts a flank attack.
7.g4?
A tactical oversight. White should have accepted long-term inferiority after 7.fxg5 fxg5 8.hxg5 Nxg5.
7...gxf4! 8.gxf5 Rg7+
Black wins material, and soon the game as well.

White to move
Preparing Nd2-b3 in order to seize the protected square on c5. This is the best way to do it, since the temporary attack on the c6-pawn limits Black's replies.
1...Rdc8 2.Nbd2 a5 3.Nb3 a4 4.Nc5 Nxc5 5.Rxc5
By recapturing this way White keeps the c5-square under control and facilitates the attack on the c6-pawn.
5...Bf8 6.Rec1 Qd7 7.R5c2
Thanks to his superior pawn structure, White keeps a slight edge.
