3...Nfe8 4.Qa4 f5
This leads to new weaknesses, but Black was short of constructive ideas.
5.Qb3! Qc8 6.exf5 Qc5+?!
Now White manages to swap the enemy's active queen. Preferable was 6...Nxf5 7.Qc3 with a clear, though not decisive advantage – Kasparov.
7.Kf1 Bd5 8.Qa3! Qxa3 9.Bxa3 exf5 10.Bc5 Nc8 11.Nc6! Kf7 12.Nxa7 Nxa7 13.Bxa7
White later realized his extra pawn.

Black to move
Restricting the enemy bishop and parrying the threat of 3 b5.
In contrast, 2...axb4? 3.axb4 is illogical since it opens the a-file for the white rooks.
3.b5 Ne7
The b2-bishop is no longer impressive, while the c4-pawn has turned into a weakness, something that Black soon exploits.
4.Rfd1 Rd6 5.Kf1 Nc8! 6.Rdc1 Nc5! 7.Rc2 Nb6
Followed by ...Rad8, leads to a clear black advantage – Keres.

White to move
A simple but strong restrictive measure. Other moves, such as 1.Bf4?! permit 1...Ba6! , perhaps followed by ...Bd3-g6, and Black drastically improves his worst piece.
1...f5
1...Qd7 , preparing ...Bc6-b5, then White should consider 2.g4 Bc6 3.g5 Bb5 4.Qf3 , intending g2-g3, Kg2 and Rh1 with attacking chances.
