16...a5!
Black still has development problems. With this move, he battles to open the a-file to get his rook on a8 into play quickly.
17.Ba3
Black's previous move was also aimed at dissuading 17.Nd4, since after Qa4 he maintains an active pin against b5.
17...axb4
Not now 17...Qa4? because of 18.Ng5! Be8 19.Rab1, and the attack has switched clearly to White.
18.Bxb4 Qf5-/+.

☑️ Chess History - Tournaments
🔘Amsterdam Interzonal 1964
▪️ This qualification tournament for the 1965 Candidates matches was held May 20th- June 21th in the building of the GAK (Social Security Organization) in Amsterdam. The purpose was to select a challenger for Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian, the World Champion.
The first six finishers would qualify, with the restriction that only three players from the Soviet Union could advance.
Two players were already seeded into the Candidates matches (and did not have to participate): Mikhail Botvinnik (as the loser of the Petrosian - Botvinnik World Championship Match (1963) and Paul Keres (as the winner of the Keres - Geller 2nd place Candidates Playoff (1962) that followed after the Curacao Candidates (1962). Botvinnik later (in March 1965) withdrew from the cycle so that Efim Geller who had failed to qualify in the USSR Zonal (1964) and therefore did not play in the Interzonal went to the Candidates matches after all (by virtue of his placement in Curacao).
▪️ All five participants from the Soviet Union finished in the top six, so the fifth and sixth-place finishers (Stein and Bronstein) were excluded as qualifiers, with Ivkov advancing instead and, after a playoff with Reshevsky, Portisch. The American champion Robert James Fischer chose not to play.
