⚪️Vidit,Santosh Gujrathi (2711)
⚫️Praggnanandhaa,R (2519)

24.Bxf6! [Converting one type of the advantage into another. Vidit gives up the advantage of the bishop pair to grab a pawn and pull down the opponent's kingside pawn structure.]

24...gxf6 [Recapturing the pawn with the king would be bad:]
