7.g4 Nbd5 8.Nxd5 Nxd5 9.Qd4?
This loses a piece.
9...f6 10.Rh3
10.Nf3 Rc4! Trapping the queen.
10...fxe5 11.Qxe5 Rf7
Black soon won.
Nijboer - Smirin
Wijk aan Zee 1993

Softening up the d5-square for the knight.
1...Nc5
1...exf5 2.exf5 g5 3.Bg3 +/-
1...e5 2.Ne6! Nxe6 3.fxe6 Rxe6 4.Nd5 , followed by Bg4, leads to an even bigger advantage
2.fxg6! hxg6 3.Bxf6 e5 4.Nf3 Nh5
Now Black will never be able to recover the pawn; but after 4...Nxe4 5.Nxe4 Bxe4 6.Qh6! White would have a strong attack.
5.Nd5 Bxd5 6.Qxd5+ Qf7 7.Bg5 Qxd5 8.exd5
White later realized his extra pawn.
Jadoul - Karpov
