With a huge advantage
Carlsen - Beliavsky
Amsterdam 2006
Black to move
2.exd5 e4! the bishop on g7 wakes up and a passed pawn appears on the e-file.
2...Bf6!
Intending ...Bd8, ...c7-c6 and ...Bb6(+) in order to activate the bishop.
3.Qg3 c6 4.Bb3 Bd8! 5.Qd3 Bb6+ 6.Kh1
6.Be3 straight away was preferable.
6...Qg4! 7.Be3
7.Qxd6 Rf2 8.Rg1 Qxg2! with mate.
7...Bxe3 8.Qxe3 Rf4
With the double idea of 9...Nxe4 and 9...Ref8. Black is clearly better – Beliavsky.
Beliavsky - Lautier
Linares 1994
White to move
Redirecting the passive bishop to the h3-c8 diagonal where it will complicate Black's long castling.
1...Nd4
1...Nxg3? 2.Rh8 Bf8 3.Bh3 Qd6 4.Qe1! Ngh5 5.f4 , destroying the black defence
2.f4!
The game saw 2.Rh8+?! Bf8 3.Bh3 Qd6 4.f4 Nxd5 and Black eventually saved a draw.
2...Nf3 3.Qe2 Nxg5 4.fxg5 Ng8 5.Rh8 Kf8 6.Bh3! Qe7 7.Ne4!
