Black must defend actively here, which is
absolutely typical of the endgame n+li:l against

1 Wd4li:lc5?!
Black will have problems in the endgame because
of White's activity. The white pawn-majority
can easily move into the attack, whereas
Black's majority is harder to mobilize. 1 ... We6!
2 ~c4 °®'e8 would have led to equality (Kramnik
in CBM).

4 g4!
This prevents Black from setting up his best
defensive formation with pawns on f7, g6 and
h5, and also enables the white king to become
active.
4 ... g6 S @g2 @g7 6 ltd21?
A good prophylactic move, directed against
.. Jk8.
6 ..• a6
9h4!
White would like to undermine the black
structure by playing h5. Naturally there is more
than one way of making use of a majority. It is
not always the candidate, the pawn on whose
file there is no enemy pawn, which should advance
first.

An inaccuracy. The knight should set off immediately
in the direction of the Achilles' Heel
at f7: t4 li:\f31 ltc3 15 li:le5 @f6 (15 ... lta3 16
