Russian Junior Championship 2006
White to move
White prepares Nc4 in order to break the blockade on d6.
1...Bb5?
Logical but tactically ill-founded.
A better try is 1...Rd8 2.Nc4 Ra6
2.Qc5! Rb6 3.d6! Ng6 4.Bxg6 fxg6 5.d7 Rd8 6.a4!
Deflecting the bishop.
6...Ba6 7.Nxg6! Kh7
7...Qxg6 8.Qc8! Qf6 9.Re8+ +-
8.Ne5 Re6 9.Qd5 Re7 10.h3 b6 11.Qe4+ Kg8 12.Ng4!
Black resigned.
Ivanchuk - Tiviakov
Benidorm (rapid) 2008
White to move
A rook sacrifice that produces a dangerous passed pawn.
2...Nf6 3.f3! R3c5?!
3...Bd7 4.a7 R3c5 was preferable, although after 4.b4 Qxa7 5.bxc5 dxc5 6.Qf2 White's advantage is practically decisive – Golubev.
4.Rxc5! Rxc5 5.b4!
Recovering the rook with a decisive advantage thanks to the passed pawn.
5...Qa3 6.bxc5 dxc5 7.Bh6! Nd7 8.Bb5
Black resigned.
