TCh-ESP Div 1 Linares 2015.8.11 Position after 19 moves. Black’s last move, 19…Na6, seems to leave his a-pawn enprise for , apparently, no good reason! Would you take it? Or not?

68th ch-RUS Chita 2015.8.11 Position after 20 moves. White had earlier made a speculative piece sacrifice inorder to open the Black King position, and perhaps Black had underestimated the danger in the position. In any case, in the position above, Black had only considered 20.Ne4 Be7! (when Black is fine)
WHITE TO PLAY AND CRUSH!
