Gheorghiu - Petrosian
Bagneux 1982
White to move
Preparing 2 Kg2, in order to avoid any surprises along the back rank, and put the king on a square of opposite colour to the black bishop.
1...Rc1 2.Kg2 Rxd1 3.Rxd1 Rc5 4.h4!
Opening a new front on the kingside.
4...Qb4?!
The beginning of a flawed plan. More solid seems 4...b5 5.h5 Bxd4! 6.Rxd4 Qb6 , followed by ...Qe6.
5.h5 Rc7 6.Qf3 Rc5 7.Qf5 Qa3 8.Qd7!
With the simple idea of 9 Qe8+ taking the f7-pawn.
8...Kf8 9.Nb5!
Heading for d6 with a decisive attack.
Kasparov - Kramnik
Las Palmas 1996
Black to move
Reinforcing the kingside in view of the coming f2-f4.
2.Qe3
2.Qxf8+ Kxf8 3.f4 Kg7 4.fxe5 dxe5 5.Rf3 Ra6! and Black defends.
2...Be8!
More prophylaxis. At this moment a draw was agreed, but let's see what would have happened if White carried on with his plan.
3.f4?! exf4 4.Qxf4 Nfd7!
Thanks to his clever second move Black manages to regroup his knight to e5 with an excellent game.
Hellsten - Jicman
Gyula 2002
