White to move
21.Nd5!
Here the knight is not attacking anything, but all white pieces are now set for the attack.
21...exd5
21...Re8 22.e5 Nf8 23.Nf6+
22.exd5 f5
The only move
23.Bxf5 Rxf5
24.Re8+! Nf8 25.Qxf5 Bf6 26.Qe6+ Kh8 27.Rxc8 Qxc8 28.Qxc8 Bxc8 29.Bxf6 gxf6 30.Re1
White is winning. His rook can invade Black's position and he may create a passed pawn on the queenside.

White to move
10.Nd5!
Of course, you will think now, the position calls for this characteristic sacrifice, which so often occurs in open Sicilians.
Yet, remarkably, it was only in 2008 that this move came to the fore.
10...exd5 11.exd5 Be7 12.Nc6 Bxc6 13.dxc6 d5?!
The wrong way to conquer the pawn on c6. 13...Qc7 is better. After 1 4.g5 Black can return the piece with 14...0-0.
14.g5 Ne4?
15.c7! The refutation.
