A normal tactic to watch for in this position, which Goletiani admitted she didn't see until after she had played 14.b4. The idea doesn't actually win material but gives the bishop on g7 much more life rather than being blocked in by it's own pawn on e5.

16... Ne7 17. Qc2 exd3 18. Qxd3 Bf5!?

Zenyuk wants white to put a pawn on e4, blocking in her own bishop on g2 just like the g7 bishop used to be blocked in.

Ben Finegold pointed out in the commentary room the amusing aspect of black's bishop on g7 being blocked in again by it's own pawn on e5 while the white bishop now has an open diagonal to work on.
