Here is one from Kure's hand:

[Event "10th WCCCh"]
[Site "Maastricht "]
[Date "2002.7.6"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Quest "]
[Black "Postmodernist"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Eco "B39"]
[Annotator ""]
[Source ""]

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.c4 Bg7 6.Be3 Nf6 7.Nc3
Ng4 8.Qxg4 Nxd4 9.Qd1 Ne6 10.Rc1 Qa5 11.Qd2 d6 12.Be2 Bd7 13.O-O
Bc6

[D]r3k2r/pp2ppbp/2bpn1p1/q7/2P1P3/2N1B3/PP1QBPPP/2R2RK1 w kq -

Theorie is 14.f3 to protect the jewel on e4 but:

14.Rfd1!

Trow out the bite :)

14...Bxc3 15.Rxc3 Bxe4 16.c5

[D]r3k2r/pp2pp1p/3pn1p1/q1P5/4b3/2R1B3/PP1QBPPP/3R2K1 b kq -
And black has many problems.
Maybe best is 16...O-O after f.ex. 17.cxd6 exd6 18.Rd3 Qxd2 19.R3xd3 White
regain the pawn and have a good game. If 19...d5 then 20.f3 d4 21.Bh6 and
probably winning allready.

The game proceded:
16...Rd8 17.cxd6 Bc6 18.Bf4 Nxf4
19.Qxf4 O-O 20.Rh3 g5 21.Rg3 h6 22.h4 Rxd6 23.Rxd6 exd6 24.hxg5
Qe5 25.gxh6+ Kh8 26.Qg4 Be4 27.Qg7+ Qxg7 28.hxg7+ Kg8 29.gxf8R+
Kxf8 30.Bf3 Bxf3 31.Rxf3 Ke7 32.Rb3 b6 33.Ra3 a5 34.Rb3 a4 1-0
