any pawn weaknesses:

Good technique! The knight immediately
tries to reach its ideal square on c4. The imrnediate

The knight manoeuvre ends with its arrival
at the dream square c4. Next White doubles his
rooks on the c-file,

An inaccuracy which allows White to exchange
a pair of rooks under favourable conditions
.. Better was the immediate 8 ... c5 with the
13 f3!
An original idea. White exchanges the e4-
pawn but retains his e2-pawn, intending to manoeuvre
his knight to f4 via f3, el and d3. Then
the black pawn on g6 provides the famous 'second
weakness' (the first weakness is the damaged
black queenside).
13 e3 h4 14 @fl @h6 15 @e2 @h5 gives
Black counterplay, but 13 h4!? is also promising;
White centralizes his king and relieves the
rook for the manoeuvre ~c4-a4, viz. 13 ... <ilf6

Once again the white knight has reached its
target square. Black will be hard-pressed to defend
all his pawn weaknesses.
