White has to take care of his d6-pawn.
3...Ne5!
Initiating favourable complications.
4.Rxc5 Rexd6 5.Rxc6 Rxd2 6.Rxd2 Rxd2 7.Rxa6 Nf3+
In this desperate position, White resigned.
Fischer - Gadia
Mar del Plata 1960
White to move
Swapping the defenders of the d5-square in order to install the knight there.
2.Nd5? Bxd5 3.Bxd5 Rac8 followed by ...Bf6-g5.
2...Rac8 3.Bxc6 Bxc6 4.Rad1 Rfc8?! 5.Nd5! Qd8 6.c3!
The knight dominates the whole board and Black is left without counterplay.
O'Cinneide - Baburin
Dublin 1995
Black to move
Heading for the weak square on d3.
2.e4
If 2.f4?! , preventing Black's plan, then after 2...Nf6! the knight finds an excellent destiny on e4.
2...Ne5 3.Qc2 c4!
Fixing d3 as a protected square and facilitating the future advance of the queenside pawn majority.
4.Be3 b5 5.Rfd1 a6 6.Bd4 Nd3 7.Qc3 Rac8 8.Rd2 f6 9.Rad1 Qe6
Thanks to his strong knight Black is better.
