One of White's main plans in such positions is Qd2 with the idea of Na5 and b4, and generating a pawn majority attack in the queenside. Giri came up with an interesting plan. He played g6, now if white sends the Knight to a5, he would be able to send the knight to f5 via g7 and if white keeps his knight on b3, then he will go for f5 and continue his attack in the kingside.πŸ”Ί

πŸ“•#13

πŸ”Ή1...Ng8!? Black starts regrouping with an eye to exchange his β€œbad” dark-square bishop. НС prepares Bg7-f6-g5. The
computer does not believe in this plan and insists that by playing correctly his opponent achieves an advantage. Still,
taking into account that Black’s position is constrained, the grandmaster’s idea looks quite logical. I suppose that many
chessplayers would play the same way.. πŸ”Ή
βšͺ️ #14 (Strategy - White To Move)
πŸ“•πŸ”Ή#14

1.Bd2! Tying down the rook to the Π°5-pawn. White’s idea is simple: he is strengthening his position by transferring his bishop
to с3 and his rook to С1, thus creating the threat of the unpleasant maneuver Ne4-g3-h5 (T.Petrosian).
In the actual game, the future champion of the world completely succeeded – partly as a result of his opponent’s weak
resistance whose actions were passive and haphazard. πŸ”Ή
