🔸Aftab Cup Open 2018
🔸Round 1
⚪️Maghsoodloo,Parham (2636)
⚫️Rostami,Rouzbeh (2150)
🔸1-0
18.Qa2!
Parham takes advantage of the pin on the d5-pawn and vulnerable situation of the bishop on f5.

⚪️Kazemiyan Eski,Abolfazl (2072)
⚫️Darini,Pouria (2463)
🔸0-1
8... Rb8!
A typical idea. Black wants to put maximum pressure on c4 with placing the Bishop on a6 and the Knight on a5.

⚪️Kazemiyan Eski,Abolfazl (2072)
⚫️Darini,Pouria (2463)
🔸0-1
20... Bc4!
White is completely squeezed. Pouria is trying to block the position and prevent his opponent from playing c4. The move also clears the d3-square for his knights.
21.Rd1 Ng6 22. f3 exf3 23. Bxf3 Nge5 24. Bxd5 Bxd5 25. Rxd5 Nc4 26. Bb4 a5 27. e4 axb4 -+

50.Be2??
White who had a better position in the middlegame, his advantage gradually dissipated and he eventually lost the game.

22.Qe3!
Now Black hardly has a defense because of the weakness of his dark squares. The bishop on d5 cannot help Black's defense. Such a sudden metamorphosis is characteristic of opposite-colored bishop middlegames. With 22 Qe3 White takes the initiative, attacking e7 and creating the possibility of the queen coming to e5 when the dark squares around Black's king become fatally weak. The initiative in such opposite-colored bishop middlegames is often impossible to extinguish.
22...Qa3 23.Rb7 e6 24.Bh6 f6 25.Rg7+! Kh8 26.Qf4+-
⚫️#644 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Gulko,B
🔸Shabalov,A
🔸Curacao, 2003
14...b5! 15.Nd2?! Qe7 16.Rd1 0-0 17.Nf1 Nb6!
Black could cement his positional advantage by playing against White's bad bishop with 17...Ba5!? 18.Bd2 Bxc3 19.Bxc3 Nd5
Instead, he chose to play against White's king, which promised more.
18.Bd2 Nfd5 19.a4 f4!
