TWIC 1187-Grunfeld Defence
Game 1: Meier-Heimann
4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 0-0(D84)
German Masters 2017
After 24..a4(Diagram)
Black made an odd decision earlier in the game to give up the bishop pair but remain with an awful structure to defend. Now the c-file pin is asking for troube.
How should White continue?
After 24..a4
