š 9...b5!?
An interesting and very rare move which introduced by Cuban grandmaster, Walter Arencibia in 1998.
The idea behind the move is controlling c4 square and preventing of Qa4 and Bc4. If:
10.BĆb5 Qa5 Black has enough compensation.
10.Rc1 Ba6 11.Be2 b4

Ivanchuk initiates a kingside assault based on the opening of the h-file with h4-h5.
17.Bxc5? Rxc5 It is obvious that after this exchange black is ok. Without his dark-square bishop, white cannot hope to succeed an attack against the enemy king.
