But the weakness of the dark squares on the queenside give White an inviting target for the Be3.} 16.Qe1 {White transf ers his queen to f2, where it will not only support the g1-a7 diagonal, but also gives more impetus to an advance of the f-pawn, since f7 is no longer guarded by the Black rook.} b6 {16...b5 17.Be2 Be8 18.Qf2 Rab8 19.Nc5 exploits the dark squares in a different way.} 17.Qf2 Rab8 18.f5 Qc8 {Examining this diagram we see that the pressure point is e6, and the next few moves are aimed directly at the target.
