White's straightforward central breakthrough idea was potentially very dangerous.
10...h5!
was an 'intuitive, genuinely Sicilian, strong' move, which deterred White from a swift f2-f4 and e4-e5 plan. Note 10...g5 11.h4! would have been awkward.

The text is certainly visual, although apparently 22...Qb8! would have been stronger.

"Chess is like body-building. If you train every day, you stay in top shape. It is the same with your brain - chess is a matter of daily training."
