Tomi Nyback Anish Giri Corus-B 2010 Black to move
The black king is pretty unsafe at the moment in the center, and White is threatening to start a pawn march with e5-d6. Giri employs an imaginative maneuver to block the pawns and at the same time restrict the bishop.
1...Kd6!
The knight goes to e5, and the black king is perfectly placed on d6. White does not have pieces to attack along the dark squares.

And ...b4 is coming, opening the queenside!
