📘 21.Ng4?
The bishop on d3 and the pawn on e4 have already been attacked. So, hanging another piece can be extremely dangerous.

A typical idea to take control over the dark squares. 19.h3 Bxf3 20.Bxf3 Bf8 21.b5 Bb4 22.Re3 Bc5 23.Bxc5 Nxc5 and we have a very clean knight v bad bishop position which is very tough for the defence. Kozul does a good job, but it is almost unheard of to see Beliavsky suffering in this way with White.
