📘19.g4
White intends to put more pressure on the weak d5-pawn. To reach this goal, he clears the g2-square for his queen and prepares to drive away the black knight with g5.
19...Bc6 20.Qg2 N8d7 21.g5.

19...Bc6 20.Qg2 N8d7 21.g5.
📘The weakest point in Black's camp is the e5-pawn. The worst placed white piece is the rook on b1. The ideal square for this piece is on a5. Therefore the correct move is logical.
18.Ra1!
Playing with all the pieces – always remember to do that!
18...Rg8 19.dxe5 dxe5 20.Ra5! Now White is doing well.
20...Bb5 21.c4 b6 22.Ra1+/-.
