By sacrificing a knight and then an exchange, he obtained sufficient compensation.

📘 #1 Answer👇👇👇

🔹In this position with a fixed pawn centre,
White is slightly better thanks to the
more active placement of his minor pieces
How can he make further progress, considering
the fact that the d5-pawn is well defended
for the moment?. 1.h4! A typical advance to gain some space
and enable future pressure on Black's kingside.
Since the reply 1S ... h5 isn't possible,
the pawn can soon move on to h5.🔹

🔹5.Bc2! A small but useful move. The bishop can now go to b3 to put pressure on d5, while a subsequent Nd3 will help both the knight and the other bishop in finding new destinies.🔹
