📘 Svidler has built a fortress. He can easily keep the position with waiting moves like Kg7-f8-g8 or Rf6. Trading the rooks also lead to a draw.

Black has an isolated d-Pawn thus White should exchange minor pieces. The exchange of the dark-squared bishops removes the defender of the weakened squares c5 and e5.

This is a concrete approach to the position. Though Black has a weak pawn on e6, he gives White minimal activity possibilities and exploits the wrong arrangement of white pieces in the c2-c4-d4-d2 rectangle.
