📘 10...a6!
For the first time, this move was played by Svidler in 2015.
11.0-0 b5!
Why is the move b5 so strong? First of all we are threatening to take on c4. If White decides to take on b5 then it opens the a-file and Black can put some good amount of pressure on the a2 pawn with the bishop coming on a6. All in all a6 followed by b5 should become a part of your positional arsenal in such structures.
