White soon won.
Tolush - Botvinnik
Moscow 1945
Black to move
Preparing 2...Rf4 in order to stop the enemy plan of Re3-f3.
2.Re3 Rf4 3.Be2 Qh4 4.Bf3 b4!
After the successful restriction Black can get on with his own play.
5.Qxh4 Rxh4 6.g3 Rh8 7.cxb4 axb4
Thanks to his strong passed pawn and the weakness on d4, Black is clearly better despite being the exchange down. The game continued:
8.Rb1 Rb8 9.h4 Rb7 10.Kh2 Kxd6 11.g4 Nc3 12.Ra1?! Nb5! 13.Rd1 Ra7 14.h5 g5! 15.Kg2 Ra2 16.Be2 Rxc2
White resigned
Korchnoi - Hernandez
Groningen 1997
White to move
Preparing h2-h4 in order to prevent the plan of ...Nh7 and ...Bg5 with a favourable bishop exchange.
1...Nh7 2.h4!
From now on Black's bishop remains a "bad" one, and the knight on h7 proves misplaced.
2...Nhf6 3.Kg2 Rec8 4.Ra4 Nc5 5.Rc4
Thanks to his space advantage and superior bishop, White is considerably better.
Ivanov - Magerramov
Riga 1980
White to move
Before carrying on with the attack, White prevents a defensive exchange with ...Be7-c5.
