📘 27.Na2!
A regrouping maneuver. White intends to transfer the knight to b4-square and put more pressure on the Black's camp.

📘 21...e5!
Whit's idea is simple enough: Pushing his g-pawn to rip open the kingside. Black responds correctly, counterattacking in the center. White's attack suffers a lot once a later g5 cannot be supported by an f4 or h4 pawn. 22.f5 d5! 23.exd5 e4! 24.Bxe4 Re8.
