3...Qd7?!
3...f6 4.Bf4 Nd5 5.Bd6 Black admittedly ends up with a long-term weakness on e6, but at least his "good" bishop is still on the board.
4.Nxf6+ Bxf6 5.Bxf6
With a clear grip on the dark squares, while Black's remaining bishop is horribly passive.
Agrest - Williams
Isle of Man 2004
Black to move
Provoking a weakness in the enemy kingside to facilitate the attack.
2.h3 Rg6 3.Kh1 Qg3 4.Rg1 Rh6 5.Rd1
The only defence to the threat of 5...Rxh3+, since 5.Bf1? Rxh3+ 6.gxh3 Bxf3+ -+
5...Nf6! 6.Qe1 Rxh3+!
A decisive blow.
7.gxh3 Qxh3+ 8.Kg1 Ng4! 9.Qf2 Nxf2 10.Kxf2 e5!
. Clearing the e-file. There followed
11.Rg1 Qh4+ 12.Kf1 g6 13.fxe5 Qh3+ 14.Kf2 Qh2+ 15.Rg2 Qxe5 16.Ra2 Re8 17.Rc2 Bxf3!
White resigned

White to move
Provoking ...f7-f6 to soften up the light squares in Black's camp.
1...f6 2.Bd6 Bxd6 3.Rxd6 e5
After 3...Rd8 4.Qd3 Nc6 5.Bh3! f5 6.Rd1 Rxd6 7.Qxd6 Qe8 8.Qc7 Black is in serious trouble – Baburin/Tisdall.
