Borislav Ivkov 2485 Judit Polgar 2630 Monaco 1994 Black to move
The knight and bishop are unstably placed, and understanding this allowed Black to find a long queen move:
White gets some compensation for the piece in the form of control of the open files, an advantage in development, and the fact that Black has not castled. Even so, the compensation is insufficient and Black won.
The continuation 17.d5 Ne5 18.dxe6 Bxe6 19.Nf4 promised approximate equality.
It turns out that after 19.Rxa4, there follows the double attack 19...Qb5 20.Rb4 Qxe2 21.Bxb7 Rad8 – White’s position is worse, because of the weakness of his pawns and the activity of the black pieces. The attack on the f2-pawn will be very unpleasant.
This is also a double attack, but without consequences for Black – White has a bishop hanging.
21...Qe5 22.Rc1 Rfd8 23.Qxe5 Bxe5 24.f4 Bf6 25.Rxa4 Rxb7 26.b4 Rd2 27.Kf1 Rbd7 28.Ke1 Bd8!
