📘 18.Re4!
A very clever move by Kramnik. Black must now watch out for transfers to d4 or b4.
18.a4?! a5! Black was going to play ...a5 himself to cover b4-square.
18.Nd4 Blocking the d-file does not fit with the plan of attacking the weak d6-pawn.

📘 27.c4!!
Kamsky gives up a pawn to break up Black's monster center.His idea, crazy as it looks, was absolutely sound and should have saved the game.
27.Rc1 e4 28.Ng5 Ra2 -/+
27.b4? c4! and Black's center is not tolerable.
