⚫️#407 (Strategy-Black to Move)

In this position, we have a King's Indian Defence with the variation being the Four Pawns Attack. The difference between normal positions from that variation and the specific one here is that White has his bishop on g5. This weakens the dark squares behind the pawns, and this drawback is excellently exploited by Nunn with the following move.
10...Nh5!
Obviously with the threat of ... h7-h6.

For Black it is important that he justifies putting the bishop on b4, otherwise, he is simply lagging behind in development. Moreover, White's development lead will be used to organize an assault in the center or on the kingside (probably both), starting with e4-e5. The solution is to give White structural weaknesses and then prevent this advance.
10.Bxc3! 11.bxc3 e5!
The simplest way to prevent e4-e5. Note that this fits in well with ... Bxc3 as there is now no Nc3-d5 to look out for.

As a rule, the more mistakes there are in a game, the more memorable it remains, because you have suffered and worried over each mistake at the board.
