1...Ne7!
In a fixed pawn center activating or exchanging the relatively inferior bishop is of prime importance. With the text move black wants to activate his bishop by playing Bf5 on the next move. After Bf5 black's bishop will seem more active than Bb3, So white can try to exchange bishops by playing 2.Qb1 Bf5 3.Bc2; however, black has a tiny advantage after the exchange of bishops as a relatively better bishop has remained for him.

Unfortunately, our last hope, Wesley So lost to Ding Liren in semi-final of the world cup. That being said, this makes Ding Liren the first Chinese man ever qualifying for the world championship candidate! On a good note also, Wesley can still qualify through yearly rating ranking. We also have Fabiano Caruana who happens to be leading the candidate rating list!
