As so often is the case, the pawn structure dictates the plans for both sides. Black, sooner or later, will have to play f7-f6 to brake White's advanced post and create some room for his pieces. White then can take the pawn or allow Black to take, or even play f5. Another important idea for White is to play Na4 and grab the bishop pair. The game is full of complex positional ideas. 10... c8e6 Of course, there are interesting alternatives to this move, like 10...Bg4 or the immediate 10...f6. 11. c3a4
