📘 15...Bg4!
Much more a moment for a column on 'The struggle for the Open File', but still instructive and worthy of note.
15...Qxd1 16.Raxd1 Rxd1 17.Rxd1 Re8 18.Bf4 yields White an advantage or at least equal chances.
15...Rde8 16.Qxd7 Bxd7 17.Bf4=

📘 13.c5!
A fine tactical possibility to open the position for the bishop pair in classic textbook style. Black's problem - the simultaneous vulnerability of his chunks on e4 and e5.
13.Nd2 This move makes Black's defensive task easier: 13...Nxd2 14.Qxd2 0-0.
13.Be2 c5! Black prevents White from opening the position.
