📘 15...Bg4!
Much more a moment for a column on 'The struggle for the Open File', but still instructive and worthy of note.

📘 13.c5!
A fine tactical possibility to open the position for the bishop pair in classic textbook style. Black's problem - the simultaneous vulnerability of his chunks on e4 and e5.
13.Nd2 This move makes Black's defensive task easier: 13...Nxd2 14.Qxd2 0-0.
13.Be2 c5! Black prevents White from opening the position.
