Using the pin along the a-file.

The knight here cannot be expulsed and puts pressure against d6.

White keeps placing his pieces in the best squares. Now the queen is ready to be transferred to a1, putting more pressure along the a-file and also along the main diagonal after a possible dxc5.

First of all, White creates the weakness, and second, exploits it with their pieces.

There we go! White wants to push the pawn to a5 and try to create a weak square on c5!

This move looks to force b5 to get the c5-outpost.

Going to c5, where it targets a6 and controls d7. With this simple plan, White provoked a weak square to later occupy it with a knight.

And White enjoys a fantastic position.

Black just played 10...Rb8, attacking the b2-pawn. Can you come up with a nice plan? Maybe the same as Magnus?

The idea is to gain control over the dark squares and the c5-square.
11.Qxc6? Bxg3 12.hxg3 c4 and the queen is in trouble!
