Nf6+ Nxf6 19. Rxd8 Rfxd8 {Rook, Knight and pawn generally mean full
compensation for the Queen. In the present case there is a little positional
advantage as well, consisting of a lead in development sufficient at least to
ensure the advance of Black's centre pawn. The extra freeedom of movement
which must result from this gives Black the better chances} 20. Bd2 $2 { This
enables Black to improve the placement of his Knight with gain of tempo.} (20.

Nf5 23. Bf4 {This allows Black to advance his centre pawn with gain of tempo.
White however has not enough points of contact for forming a sound plan since
he exerts so little influence in the centre} (23. Bc4 {Pirc} 23... Bxc4 24.

the Bishop, and sets up a splendid strongpoint at d3 for the other pieces} 30.
