⚪️#654 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Seirawan,Y
🔸Sosonko,G
🔸Bad Kissingen, 1981

White is slightly better due to the badly placed black king that obstructs the rook on a8. He should now create some activity before Black manages to coordinate his forces.
13.h3!
Seirawan prepares g2-g4-g5 in order to gain space and access to the e4-square for his knight.
13...h5
13...Bf8 14.Bxf8 Rxf8 15.g4 Be6 16.g5 Nd7 17.Bg4! White obtains some advantage.
14.g4! hxg4 15.hxg4
This pawn sacrifice is mainly based on the fact that the clearance of the h-file favors White, due to the disconnected black rooks.
15...Bxg4 16.Rxh8+ Bxh8 17.Be7!
Generally speaking, the side that possesses the initiative should play actively, creating new threats whenever possible. Here Black is faced with the double threat of 18 Rd8+ and 18 Bxf6.
