A fine piece of realism. Black is faced with the threat of Nd5 as well as the possibility of a well-timed combination of e5, b3, Ne4 etc which can put him under serious pressure.

A great tribute to the importance of the center. An exchange sacrifice to release mobile center pawns is by no means unheard of, but it is striking that black's compensation suffices here. Note too that the exchange of the bishop on a2 rather weakens white's light squares on the queenside.
