Apr-22-21  Ulhumbrus: On 10...Na6 suppose that White tries 11 b4 supporting the c5 pawn although the b4 pawn is not itself supported. On 11...Nxb4 12 Qa4 threatens to capture the knight as well as to make a discovered double check with the knight on b5 eg 12...Na6 13 cd Bxd6? 14 Nxd6+ winning a piece

On 11. b4, Black can simply reply 11...0-0. White's pawns are looking overextended, and White will have to lose time shoring them up.

On 11. b4 0-0 12. Ba3 dxc5 13. d6 <Bg5>. Now 14. bxc5 Qa5+ rousts White's king, but otherwise White's pawn chain dissolves.
