Dacha Tactics #6

As always -- we begin by assessing the Facts -- color facts! The imbalance is light (Golden) bishop for us, and knight for him. Which means we are ahead on light , he is ahead on dark. Which light squares are accessible for us? Let's have some faith in our golden bishop and peer in deeply -- do not take "No" for an answer...
