⚪️ #27 (Strategy - White To Move)

📕#27 White can increase his domination over dark squares by playing 1.Na4 to move it to c5 outpost. The knight not only puts pressure over b7, and e6 from c5 but it also has the opportunity to move to the other outpost, e5, via d3.

⚪️ #28 (Strategy - White To Move)

📕#28 1.Bc1! The bishop on a3 only 'looks' good. It does not have any target whatsoever so white has to rerout his bishop to the more meaningful and influential diagonal

🔴 #13
