Preparing Rb7 with a decisive advantage.
Savchenko - Zavgorodniy
Ilyichevsk 2006
White to move
With focus on the enemy kingside. Now any capture on f3 will clear the g-file for the attack.
1...Nxf3+?
This just accelerates White's plan.
1...cxb4 2.axb4 Nd7! is a better try, speeding up his development.
2.gxf3 cxb4 3.Rg1! f6
Returning the pawn
4.Bxe6+ Kh8 5.Rg3! Qe7 6.Qg6!
This nice blow seals Black's fate.
6...Bc8
Obviously both the queen and bishop were immune.
7.Rh3 h6 8.Rxh6+ gxh6 9.Qxh6+ Kh7 10.Qxf8+
Black resigned.
Portisch - Fischer
Sousse Interzonal 1967
Black to move
Preparing ...Ng7-e6-d4 in order to seize the centre.
2.Qe3 Qa7 3.h4!
Intending Kh2 and Bh3 to swap the opponent's "good" bishop.
3...Kg7 4.Kh2 f6 5.Bh3 Bxh3 6.Kxh3 Ne6 7.h5 gxh5!
