📘17.Ne2!
White intends to transfer the knight to f4 in order to put more pressure on the isolated d5-pawn. One should not casually invite a rook to invade on the 7th rank. So it is here that the 'sacrifice medal' belongs. The point of decision is not 19.Qxf6, but has to be made before.
17.Rd2 is also logical.
17.b4? weakens c4-square;17...Rc4-/+.

⚫️#250 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Blehm,Pawel (2494)
🔸Socko,Bartosz (2556)
🔸POL-ch 2000

📘22...Nc4!
The move is rich in strategical significance: of course, on the one hand, the exchange of white's light-squared bishop is highly desirable - after all, it creates a hole on d3 which is critical to black's entire idea. However, be in no doubt, if black cannot hold his the c4 pawn which will result from the exchange then the move is a bad one. Moreover, any aspiration to create counterplay on the light squares requires at the very least that the move ...c5 can be executed.
