White opens up the position for his bishops and prepares to block the rook's path with tempo. Of course the move also crucially contains a threat to c6 which cannot be ignored. 26...cxd5 27.Bb5!

Excellent - having achieved the best available rearrangement of his queenside forces, White switches to the king-side. In the absence of queens, this is not so much about the direct attack, but Kramnik well understands the potential of the significant spatial gains his plan will net, even with reduced material.
