📕 24...Nc6!
After retreating his knight to c6, Capablanca intends to transfer it to e7. in this way, he avoids White's breakthrough f4-f5. 25.Red2 Rec8 With the white rook having left the e-file, Capablanca is no longer alarmed by the f4-f5 idea and so puts his rook on the more active c8-square. 26.Re2 Ne7! 27.Red2 Rc4.

Kramnik has the initiative on both sides of the board. With his pieces on their optimum squares, it is now time to use the queenside pawns to create an inroad for the white rook along the c-file. 21...a6 22.a4 Kd8 23.Ng5 Be8 24.b5+/-
