Middlegame Secrets Vol.4 - The Secret Lives of Knights
Knight dominates the Bishop 1: Van Wely vs Karjakin
28...Bxg3!Clearing the position from strategic impurities and getting a dream position with a good knight versus a bad bishop. The similarity with the famous 15...Bxg3 from Ahues,C-Alekhine,A/Bad Nauheim 1936/HCL (0-1, 31) is quite obvious to me.29.hxg3Nd530.Ra7h631.Qa2Qe832.Qc4Qh533.Ra1Kh734.Bb4Qg635.Be1h5 The signal to an attack against which White cannot do much.36.Rc1h437.gxh4f438.Qe238.Bd2f339.g3Qf538.exf4Nxf439.g3Rxd440.Qf1Rd738...f339.Qf1Qg440.g3g541.Kh241.hxg5Kg641...gxh442.Qh3Qxh3+43.Kxh3hxg344.Kxg3Rg8+45.Kh2Rg2+46.Kh146.Kh3Kg6-+46...Rg647.Ra1Rg848.Rc1Kg649.Rc6+Kf750.Rh6Ra851.Rh7+Kg652.Rh452.Rd7Nf653.Rxc7Ra1-+52...Nf652...Ra153.Rg4+Kf554.Rg1Rb1-+53.Bb453.Kg153...Kg554.Rf4Ra1+55.Kh2Ng4+56.Kh356.Rxg4+Kxg456...Rh1+0–1
