Radjabov wants to open some room for  his dark-squared bishop. 11. f1e1  11... h7h6  12. d2f1 Black's bishops are tamed and Vachier-Lagrave has the  time to transfer his knight to a more comfortable position. 12... f8e8  13. f1g3  13... d8d7  14. c1e3  14... c7c6  15. a1d1 No rush at all. This is how you play it when you have the  horses. 15... d7e6  16. b2b3  16... a8d8  17. f3h4 Now the White's knights can't be stopped from landing on f5. 17... d6d5 That is not an attacking setup! The black center is in fact  vulnerable. 18. c3c4 Finally landing into Nimzo-Indian waters, with colors reversed. White's pawns are perfectly located and his primary task is to  force the center fixation. 18... d8d7  19. h4f5 This is far more dangerous than it seems. 19... e8d8  20. c2c1 \"A nasty move.\" (Vachier-Lagrave) Black's position is already very, very bad. 20... a6b7  21. e3h6  21... g7h6
