Now, White can manoeuvre at his leisure. He increased his space advantage and obtained a clear advantage when Black lost patience and took on d5.

Alexander Stripunsky-Aleksandr Shimanov Philadelphia 2018 How would you judge the position after 25…Nd4+ 26.Bxd4 Bxd4 ?
Black is clearly better: he has the attack with opposite-coloured bishops, with White’s king in the middle (not able to run away via g1). White’s bishop is almost a mere pawn, while Black’s is a superb Botvinnik bishop

Baadur Jobava-Parham Maghsoodloo Bandar-e Anzali 2017 Black to move White has just won a pawn (on e5). How would you judge his chances?
Actually, Black was much better already, as the e-pawns is a clear (double)weakness.
32.Rdd1 is met by 32…Qa3, attacking both the most backward of the doubled pawns as well as the a2-pawn.
