The last piece joins in with decisive effect.

White soon won.

Provoking e3-e4 in order to restrict the bishop on g2 and gain control of the dark squares.

4.Qb3 Qf6 5.Qb2 Ra4 with a clear initiative.

Black has the more active position. The game continued

Followed by ...Ne3, and White was in trouble.

Attacking the d6-pawn to force the compromising ...e6-e5 advance.

Both
1...Qxc4 2.Bxd6 Bxd6 3.Qxd6
and
1...Ne5 2.Nxe5 Bxg2 3.Nxf7! Kxf7 4.Kxg2 Qxc4 5.Rac1
yield White a more comfortable game.

Now White has a pleasant advantage thanks to the weaknesses on d5 and d6.
