I suppose it weakens the King side pawns, but harassing a Knight on f6 by g4 or a Knight on c6 by b4 is surely a common enough idea that such a move should always be among the candidate moves. In this particular context there's a follow up with the threat of invasion by Qd7 after the Knight has vacated f6. It eliminates the possible back rank mate threat as well.

Black resigned in:

What's White's advantage except B+R vs N+R, plus posession of open file?

I suspect there's some missing information here, such as black's phone ringing.

Why is ...d5! a good move in:

It threatens to win the pawn on e4. White can either capture on d5 with the e4 pawn, or play Rd1, or play Ng5 or Nd2. I suspect that the further push d4 is the most principled response by Black to Rd1/Ng5/Nd2, either with or without Bxa3 thrown in first. The response to 1...d5 2.exd5 is probably 2...Bxa3 before recapturing on d5 with the queen. The tactical point is that 3.dxc6 fails to 3...Bc5+ before recapturing on c6, though White does seem able to win the pawn on e5, so not sure what the final evaluation should be.

No need to overcomplicate, Chris. 1...d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 is natural and good.

Good advice! "Do not overcomplicate." I will make a note for my next game.

(I tend to worry about where to put the queen after something like Rd1)

e4, for example?

Black has several ways to maintain the pressure: 24...g5 or 24...Bb7 come to mind

What presure?

If it was White to move, can you find a decent one? You might just have to give up the e pawn by O-O in order to get some coordination. Black on the other hand appears to have a decent choice of ideas.

In this position:

I was trying to win the f7-pawn, by the recommended continuation was:

Why?
I understand that quickness of attack is very important in positions with oppsite-side castling, but f7 is obviously the low-hanging fruit, isn't it? So why not going for the pawn?

Why bother with pawns with bigger fish to fry?

That attack on the Q side is just going to win, and do so quite fast with it. 4.. ab 5 Bxb5 and 6 a6 is a massive threat - bishop going to be trapped in on a7, knight on c6 really vunerable etc......

What should Black recapture on c5 with, in

and why?

I don't know what your author says, but I would have thought all three possible captures are of about equal weight. If you wanted to play for a win, you might capture with the Knight or the b pawn, to avoid all the major pieces possibly being traded along the d file.

He gave Nxc5 without any comment
