📘 15.Qb3? (15.h3 -/+)
Svidler probably because of psychological pressure, has made the strange move which loses an important tempo.

📘 10.Bf4!
White gives up a bishop of great potential. Why? Simply because virtually black's entire chances for active counterplay revolves around the piece he is now obliged to trade.

📘 11...Qd7!
Very praiseworthy, with the idea of Nb8-c6-a5, exerting pressure on the c4-pawn. The Rook on a8 is untouchable: 12.Qxa8?? Nc6 the white queen is trapped.
11...Nd7?! 12.Bd3 Nf6 13.Qh4 with the initiative.
11...c6? 12.Bd3 g6 13.h4 white would obtain a strong attack.
