🔺Qe2! with the idea of sending the queen to the strong c4 square and putting pressure over black's weak squares.🔺

⚫️#13 (Strategy - Black To Move)

📕#13

🔹1...Ng8!? Black starts regrouping with an eye to exchange his “bad” dark-square bishop. Не 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.. 🔹

⚪️ #14 (Strategy - White To Move)

📕🔹#14

1.Bd2! Tying down the rook to the а5-pawn. White’s idea is simple: he is strengthening his position by transferring his bishop
to с3 and his rook to е1, 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. 🔹
