Parham chooses an interesting line.

I like the idea of invading White's light-squared holes on the queenside and the knight would be well placed on e6. White could have defended better but the rest of the game is instructive nonetheless. A smooth exchange sacrifice leads to a couple of wicked passed pawns:
