With the strong threat of 9 Ka4, winning the b4-pawn. White later won.

Avoiding pieces exchanges in order to keep the enemy position cramped.

Creating some additional pressure before going f2-f4.

A strong blow that exploits the lack of coordination in Black's camp.

Parrying the threat of 7 Bxg6, but White's greater piece activity proves decisive anyway.

Black resigned.

Eliminating the more active of White's bishops.

Quite an unnatural place for the king, but after 3.0-0 Nd4 4.Nxd4 cxd4 , followed by ...Nc6, the absence of the fianchettoed bishop leaves him rather unprotected on g1.

Seizing the centre and vacating c6 for the other knight.
