5...cxd5 6.cxd5 Nb6
6...exd5 7.Nd4 Nb6 8.e6 Rf6 9.Rxg7 Bxe6 10.Nxe6 Rxe6 11.Rcc7! and White wins – Kramnik.
7.d6
White has an overwhelming advantage.
Khalifman - Filippov
Russian Team Championship 1995
White to move
With the idea of 2.Ne4 fxe4 3.fxe4 , clearing the f file towards the black king.
1...Na6?!
1...Nd7 was safer, enabling a later ...Nd7 f6, although after 2.Ba3 Qe6 3.Qc2! , with the double idea of 4 Rd6 and 4 Bd3, White keeps excellent compensation.
2.Ba3 Be6 3.Ne4! fxe4
3...Qd8 4.Ng5+ Kf6 5.Qc3 Qb6 6.f4 +-
4.fxe4 Nf4 5.gxf4 Rhd8 6.Bd6 Kd8 7.fxe5 Qh4 8.Qe3!
Preparing Rf2 and Rdf1, leaves Black with a hopeless position – Khalifman.
Karpov - Spassky
Candidates match Leningrad 1974
White to move
Preparing Reb1 and b3-b4 in order to clear the b-file towards the target on b7.
Please note that the immediate 1.Rab1? would have failed to 1...a5! , closing the queenside.
While 1.Rh1+?! Kg8 followed by ...f7-f6 isn't at all productive for White.
1...f6 2.Reb1 fxg5 3.b4!
Karpov is not distracted by the g5-pawn, but sticks to his plan.
3...Nf5!?
