📘 Four instructive moments of the 12-time Iranian national champion.
(Diagram 1) 11.Qd3! intending Be3 and Rd1.
(Diagram 2) 22.a4! Keeping the knight on c4 and gaining space on the queenside.
(Diagram 3) 30.Kg2! Ke8 31.b3! White reinforces his position before the final operation.
(Diagram 4) 38.B×a6! A timely tactical blow. 38...Qg6 (38...b×a6 39.Qc6+--->Qc7--->Q×d6 +-) 39.Bb5+ Kd8 40.Qb6+ +-

📘 11.Rc1 d6 12.Nb1!
An interesting regrouping in order to transfer the knight to c3 via b1-square.

📘 18.Ng5!
Another attractive idea by Great Kramnik! The knight will go to f4 via h3.
18...Rc5 19.Nh3 b5 20.Nf4
