My favorite position of the FIDE World Cup.

[Thomas Lagershausen]

[D]r4rk1/2q3b1/4p1pp/npP1Pp2/5P1B/8/bNQ3PP/3RRBK1 w - - 0 29

This Is from a tiebreakgame (rapidchess) of round 3.

I prefer the move 29.Rd6!? with the idear to answer 29...Nb7 with 30.Bf2!!

I think the rook on d6 is poisened because two connected freepawns are the death of blacks position.

So i want to understand this moves only as good positional move.

White is only gaining space and nothing more.

Please understand the position only as a experimental positional testposition.

I only have a feeling that the position should be handled like this.

In the game GM Moiseenko (Elo 2715) played 29.Ra1 b4 and white won against GM Navara.

Critter-1.2.1 (8 threads) also likes Rd6, but so far prefers Rb6 in reply to Nb7:
