Now instead of his actual choice of 14 l;t.d5?,
Roiz should have played 14 4Jd6+! cxd6 15
Ad5+ .l::te6 16 .l::txd6 +- (Roiz in CBM).
If Black were to move, he would increase his
superiority over the dark squares: 1...Ac5! 2

Bologan first talces over the d-file and then
penetrates with his king via e5, which puts
Black under strong pressure. However, with
