Diagram 19 · White to move
Material is level, but Black's queenside pieces have not moved and White's are all in play. Black's plan is easy to read: swing the queen over to the kingside, where the king cover is thin and a file is open beside it. White gets one move first, and it should take that plan away rather than just add to White's own.
