📘 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.

📕 19.Rb5!
White's threat to sacrifice the exchange to remove a piece critical to both his opponent's positional plans and to the defence of his key e6 weakness is obvious enough, but turns out to just about impossible to meet in any case! 19...Re8 20.Rxd5! exd5 21.Qh3!

📕 25...Rf8!
Black is the first to start active operations on "his" wing. The lack of defence of the e4-square will soon force White to new losses of time. 26.Kh1 Rf4! The strong concentration of forces on the kingside offer Black adequate counterplay.
