game and he sets Black one difficult problem
after another.

White is structurally better, but can make no
further progress by static measures. So Suetin
decides to open the queenside:
1 c4?!
1 b3 is more accurate.
1 .tf8?!
l bxc4 2 b3 cxb3 3 .txa6+ @c7 4 !:txb3
l'3.eb8 is superior, since the black rooks then
have better prospects and White no longer has
any choice about which wing he would like to
open.
But not I ... dxc4? 2 .lg2 l'3.ed8 3 .lxe4 with a
large advantage for White.
2cxb5?
2 b3 is preferable. White should not rush. He
should maintain his threat to open the kingside,
in order to take advantage of the fact that his
rooks can switch wings more quickly.

A3) Returning Material
If you are absolutely sure that the resulting
endgame is won, returning some material can
sometimes simplify the task considerably. But
extreme caution is indicated in such cases. Not
for nothing is there a section in Chapter 17
('Typical Mistakes') with the heading 'Unnecessarily
Giving up Material'.
