Both Kosinsteva sisters have played this line with Black, with Tatiana's latest foray dating from last year, when she followed Kramnik's choice of 12...a6 from Navara-Kramnik (2008). Kramnik's plan is not for everyone though, and if you suffer from claustrophobia, another approach is recommended.

Kramnik played this knight maneuver too, though via d6 instead of a7. In this game, though the knight looks well-placed, it is shown to be biting on dust.

Socko is rerouting her pieces to prepare for the thematic e4 push. Kosinsteva really cannot do anything to prevent it, and is reduced to getting ready to fight against it and hope for the best.
