π 15...RΓf3!
An excellent exchange sacrifice to demolish white's kingside pawn structure and weaken enemy's king.

π 30...Re8? (30...Kh8)
A strange blunder and neglect of white's threat on h6.

A sideline that introduced by Hans Kmoch against Alekhine in 1926.

Two more interesting games:

Nigel Short's blunder in a worse position.

Valentina Gunina has won twice the Women's European Individual Chess Championship (2012, 2014) and three times the Russian Women's Championship (2011, 2013, 2014).

π 29.Ra4!
A creative move. White is intending to fight for the center by playing d4. Otherwise, Black can gradually put more pressure on the white's d-pawn.

π 18.g4!
Creates a surprising impression. Black's knight will pour into good squares, but the question remains - What will they achieve there? In a sense part of it is about timing and forcing the issue. Rather than maneuver and open a file at leisure, black is obliged to do it NOW, and although the f-file and the squares f4 and h4 look scary, the h-file counts too, as might the f5 square, a less visually 'in your face' outpost, but an outpost just the same. In the game, white holds the king-side and wins on the queenside. I feel that black needed at least to put a higher premium on disruption.
