🔺1.Nd5-Nf4
Michael Adams' favorite idea in this opening. The idea is targeting the black Queen to move her from the active h5 square.🔺

⚪️ #15 (Strategy - White To Move)

🔹#15
Black’s position is preferable. Transferring the white knight to b5 seems to be the best way to achieve equality. 1.Nb1!🔹

⚪️ #16 (Strategy - White To Move)

🔹#16
White should have taken up the struggle for the control of the open c-file immediately by playing 1.Na2! [1.e3?! Bb5!] If 1...Bb5 2.Rxc7 Rxc7 3.Rc1! holding the balance as a result of the exchange of the last pair of rooks.🔹

Interesting choice by Fedoseev who is known for his off-beat openings. White decides to take advantage of his extra tempo rather fighting ambitiously for the center with Spansih.
