⚪️Kramnik,Vladimir (2800)

📘 32.Ne6
White's only winning chance is in the opposite color bishops ending.
(32...N×f7 K×f7 33.Ke3 +/- The active bishop on e5 and the white's passed f-pawn make Black's defensive task more difficult. )
32...N×e5 33.d×e5 Re8 34.Nf4 Bc2 35.Rg1+ Kf7 36.e6+ Kf6 37.Nh5+ Ke5 38.f4+ Kd6 =

🔸Saint Louis 2017
📕 26.Qe2!
The correct decision. White is better also after 26.Qxf5 Rxf5, but t keeping the Q is even stronger. Black's K is potentially more vulnerable, than White's.
⚪️#352 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Kramnik,Vladimir (2810)
🔸Aronian,Levon (2809)
🔸FIDE Candidates London 2013
📕 14.e4!
Kramnik shifts gear and starts concrete play in the center. The movie also releases the white's dark-squared bishop. 14...b4 15.Bf4 Qb6 16.Na4 Qa5 17.e5 Nd7 18.Be3+/=.
