19.Bh3! My Bishop on g2 was bad, so I move it to h3 and accomplish two goals: I get it outside the pawn chain and give it a new lease on life on the h3-c8 diagonal; and after I play f5-f6 or fxg6, I will trade light-squared Bishops, swapping my bad Bishop…

The delegate of west Asian in Tbilisi World cup 2017 made a strange blunder.

The trade of Black's queenside Bishop has left him weak on the light squares.

I know... Knights don't belong on the 1st rank. But this horse is just on its way to greener pastures; it's heading for c6 via d3 (or c2) and b4.

My mighty Knight is paralyzing the Black position, while the enemy Bishop is doing nothing at all (Seirawan).

24.Nb1!
White prepares to chase the b4-Knight away. Black has to come to terms with the fact that the b4-square he put so much effort into controlling was just a temporary possession.
24...Qb7 25.Kh2 Kg7 26.c3 Na6 27.Re2
White decides that he wants to double Rooks on the f-file so that they can work with his Queen in attacking f7.
With 27.Re2 he avoids the trade of this Rook and now threatens 28.g3 Bf6 29.Ref2 Rd6 30.Bg5!.
