21. Nd2-c4
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

A bit of tit-for-tat...White unleashes his attack on the Nd7.

White is playing to maximize the activity of his pieces...if Gata has anything here, it will be because of the tactical threats he can whip up with those active pieces.

Note that Black's king's rook is not yet in the game...if Gata can tie that rook down to defending the f7-square, then White will definitely stand better. (0:15)
