📕This exercise is really quite simple. The light-squared bishop is not too impressive and has little scope for improvement, while White's other bishop is superior. Therefore the following exchange sacrifice, creating a formidable center, is quite logical.
21...Nxe4! 22.Qxc2 Rxc2 23.Bd3 Rxb2 24.Rxb2 Nc5
Black has compensation and is perhaps even a little better already. Either way, the position is more difficult to play for White in practice. Neither his bishop nor his rooks have any good squares.

📕The important factor is that none of White's pieces other than the knight needs improving, and as there is no reason to alter the pawn structure this should be done immediately.
