📕18.Rd3!
The piece that needs to be activated before the direct assault is the rook, and as the weakness, White is attacking is the d6-pawn, the rook belongs on the d-file. Another good feature about the text is that it prevents ...Na5 (prophylaxis) while improving the pieces. This is what identifies a great move.
