19.Nd2!! [A clever decision to exchange a pair of knights and put more pressure on Black's weak pawn-structure.]
[19.Nf4?! Qe7³ Black successfully would manage to defend his pawns and keep his space advantage.; 19.Nh4?! g6³ Black would enjoy his spatial advantage.]
19...c4 20.Nxe4 fxe4 [20...cxd3?? 21.Qxc8!+–]
21.Nf4 Rc5 22.b3 Ba6 23.Qc3 Rdc8 24.b4± [White has a huge advantage, since his bishop is much better than the opponent's bad one, the dark squares in the enemy camp is very weak, and also Black suffers with a backward pawn on d5.]
1–0
