White intends to exchange the strong central knight on e4 and indirectly attack the black-d5 pawn.
9.Na3? Nxc5 =/+.
9.Be3 allows Black to seize the center by playing 9...e5.

📘 35.d5!
A great idea. White will show that in addition to the two advanced passed pawns, there is a third important factor in the position. The chance to use the presence of opposite-colored bishops to assist in building an attack on black's king.
