πŸ”ΈIvanchuk,Vassily (2480)
πŸ”ΈURS-ch 1987
πŸ“˜ 14...Ke8!
The trouble with going the other way is that, while the king is itself safe on c7, the opposition with the bishop on f4 prevents Black from undertaking any active play. For instance, he can't play ...f7-f6 ever because White would take it with check - and he can't carry out Ivanchuk's plan in the game. In any case, there's no real need to connect the rooks since the h8-rook is already operating on the h-file.
It is interesting to know, this position repeated in the game S.Bethe- F, Hagenstein, in 1990.

πŸ”ΈBrochet,Philippe (2379)
πŸ”ΈIvanchuk,Vassily (2754)
πŸ”ΈEU-Cup 26th 2010
πŸ“˜ 26...Ra8!
The rook is moved to g- file to put pressure on the white g2-pawn. then black is going to transfer the bishop to c6 in order to attack the weak e4-pawn.
26...f5?! 27.exf5 Bxf5 28.Bxf5 Rxf5+ 29.Kg1, the game is nearly equal.
26...Rg8? does not contain any concrete plan.
