About the Yepishin's Line

Yepishin's Line meets 9...Nh5 with 10. Qc2. The other main option at this point is 10. Re1, known as Sokolov's Line. On c2 the queen supports the e4-pawn and the knight on c3 ahead of Black's ...f5 break. Meanwhile the b4-pawn keeps c4-c5 in reserve. The game follows the familiar locked-center race, with White pressing on the queenside and Black aiming at the white king.
