📕23.Rd1!
White has a slight advantage here as usual. With no entry squares on the c-file, white is free to retain his rook. Black's main problem is the lack of play. White controls the center and can build his plans around that. Black needs some counter, but there isn't any since d5 always runs into e5.

Another for the collection of cases where the side with the knights opens the position! In fact, here black's structure will be left severely dented. the dual weaknesses on c6 and the e6/e7 moisture on the e-file do not bode well for black.
If 16.Nd2, then 16...Bh6! 17.Nc4 Qd8 18.Be3 Bb5 with equal chances.
16.Qd2? Qxd2 17.Nxd2 Bh6 I prefer black's position.
