Timman - Ljubojevic
Tilburg 1981
White to move
Preparing 2 Be5 to swap the attacker on c7.
1...bxc6
1...Qxc6?! 2.Rc1 Qd7 3.Qd4 , followed by 4 Rfd1, the d5-pawn turns into a problem for Black.
2.Be5! Qe7 3.Bxc7 Qxc7 4.Qd4 Re8 5.Rfc1 Qd6
Parrying the threats of 6 b5 and 6 Qxd5.
6.Nc5
Thanks to the eternal weakness on c6, White keeps a slight advantage.
Lobron - Hulak
Yerevan Olympiad 1996
Black to move
Preparing a queen exchange in order to finish off White's attack.
2.Qh4 Qg4! 3.Qxg4
Or 3.Qf2?! Nd3 , heading for f4 with strong counterplay.
3...Nxg4 4.Rg3 Ne5
Now Black is simply better thanks to his extra pawn. Without queens on the board, White's kingside attack is unlikely to succeed.
5.h4 Rac8 6.h5 Be2 7.h6 g6
Preparing ...Nfd7 with a better game.
Narmontas - Sergeev
