7...Nb6 8.Qb3 c5 9.bxc5! Bxc5 10.Bd6!
White enjoys an overwhelming advantage.
Wittmann - Dolmatov
Frunze 1983
Black to move
Intending ...f7-f5 and ...e6-e5 to advance the kingside pawn majority.
2.c3?!
Preferable was 2.g3 f5 3.Bg2 e5 with just a slight black edge – Dolmatov.
2...f5 3.Bc2 e5
Now these two pawns control considerable space, and they can prove useful in a future kingside attack.
4.Nf3 Ng6 5,g3 b5!
Intending to deploy the bishop on the h1-a8 diagonal, which was weakened by g2-g3.
6.Ng5 h6 7.Nd4? exd4 8.Bb3+ Kh8 9.Qh5 Qc6 10.cxd4 Qf6
Having a clear extra piece, Black won just a few moves later.
Sermek - Serper
Tilburg 1994
Black to move
Preparing ...b7-b5 in order to undermine White's pawn majority.
2.Bb2 Bf8 3.Rc1 Nh5!
Heading for f4(-d3).
4.Rcd1?!
Preventing the ...Nf4-d3 maneuver in advance, but now Black reverts to his first plan with great effect.
4.g3 was better, with just a slight disadvantage after g6 followed by ...Bg7 – Serper.
4...b5! 5.cxb5 axb5 6.Ne2 b4!
