📕 14.Bd3!
This was then a novelty, albeit one whose positional motivation was clear and thematic enough. White controls the important square e4 in the center and exchanges defending piece on g6. then he can go for h4.
(14.h4?! e4! 15.Nxe4 Re8 16.Nxf6+ Qxf6 17.Qd2 Nb6 with good play for the pawn.)

📘 21...Nb8!
A secure knight on g4 is often a valuable trump for White. All the more so when Black has felt that the need to play 'dynamically' requires a rushed ...d5 break in the center- which it generally does not. Here too, though, it can play a valuable role defending f2 and shielding g3. Hence the text - with e5 solidly defended, nothing speaks against this maneuver to challenge g4. 22.b4 Nd7 23.Rae1 Ndf6.
