Bd1 * Theory clearly favours Na4 with later Bf3 and Nc5 or first Bf3 and then Na4 which is apperently faster for heading towards the c5-square! It seems the book moves ended just 1! ply to soon for Gandalf who is not able to handle the position adequate after 19.Kb8...but he would not be alone as some F6 versions also would prefer Ne2 or f4 which both do not save counterplay on the queenside but instead weaken the squares around the e-file root.
