Black to move
Clearing some space for the bishops before White manages to consolidate by Nd6, Kg2-f3, etc.
2.Nd6
After 2.exf6 gxf6 Black obtains a potential passed pawn, and White loses his outpost on d6.
2...Bg6 3.Nc4
3.Nxb7? Rb8 4.Rd7? Be8 5.Rc7 Rxb7! 6.Rxb7 Bc6 -+
3...Bd4 4.Kg2 Be8!
The bishop shifts to the more promising h1-a8 diagonal.
5.exf6 gxf6 6.Rac1 Bc6+ 7.Kf1 Bc5
With ideas like 8...Bf3, winning the battle for the d-file. By now the range of the bishop pair is rather worrying for White, whereas the knights are lacking protected squares. Black later won.

Black to move
Intending ...b5-b4 to weaken the a1-h8 diagonal for the bishop, in particular the d4-square.
2.Nf1 b4 3.cxb4 cxb4 4.Ne3 Rg8 5.Bg3 Bd4!
Now the bishop is doing a great job in helping his colleague to put pressure on g2.
6.Nc4 R8g7 7.Qh5 Kh7 8.Ne3 Qb5 9.Rd2 a6
And subsequently won the game.
