⚫️#23 (Strategy - Black To Move)

🔹#23
1...Ne7!
In a fixed pawn center activating or exchanging the relatively inferior bishop is of prime importance. With the text move black wants to activate his bishop by playing Bf5 on the next move. After Bf5 black's bishop will seem more active than Bb3, So white can try to exchange bishops by playing 2.Qb1 Bf5 3.Bc2; however, black has a tiny advantage after the exchange of bishops as a relatively better bishop has remained for him.

⚫️#24 (Strategy - Black To Move)

🔹#24
1...Ne8!
1. increases black's control over dark squares by unmasking the bishop.
2. Hopes to maneuver the knight to d4 via c7 and b5.
