Adf6 (White is willing to give up a second pawn in order to open lines with 13..xc3 14 We3 Dds 15 Lxd5 cxd5 16 Hfc1) 14 Axe4 Dxe4 15 Bfe1 0-0-0 16 Wb2 Ehe8 17 f3 Ad6 18 Afi Sb8 19 a5 Dc8 20 fic5 £6 21 Haq! e5 22 Beai Hd7 23 Hb4 and White aimed his guns directly at Black’s king, G.Kasparov-E.Bareev, Tilburg 1991.
