Jan-Krzysztof Duda vs Wang Hao · 2017 · move 32.
Which knight retreat from e6 controls b5 and d5?
White advances kingside pawns and places both rooks near the attack. Wang Hao first removes an attacking knight, then strikes in the centre with c5. The exchange offer on b5 creates open lines toward White’s king, and the passed e-pawn eventually becomes a second source of forcing threats.
