Black has a passive position so he needs to play precisely.

📕 19...a5!
Ponomariov plays for the initiative by attacking white's pawn chain. Note that aside from the positional objections any ...Bxa1 would involve serious danger to black's king too.

White has a genuine space advantage, but his outpost on d6 cannot be maintained. The solution is impressive. At first glance it appears that in what follows d4 might be the most vulnerable spot for either side. In fact, the opposite coloured bishops live up to their reputation. They favour the attacker, and in particular a direct attack on the king. An excellent assessment from the talented Sasikiran.
