Movsesian,S - Korobov,A = Aeroflot Open, second round, 18/Feb/2004 [D]6k1/3nr2p/3p2pQ/1pq3P1/p2r4/P2B4/1PP5/1K1R3R b In principle 34...b4 is playable, but on 35.Bxg6! Rxd1+ 36.Rxd1 you have to respond with 36...Nf8, as 36...hxg6 loses immediately: 37.Qxg6+ Rg7 38.Qe6+. After 36...Nf8 37.axb4 Qxb4 38.c3 and 39.Bd3 White has better chances, but Black is more or less OK. From the variation above, one can see that the most dangerous attacking piece for Black is the white bishop. This may then help you to find an interesting defensive resource: 34...Qd5! 35.Rdf1 (removing the Rook from the pin) 35...Rxd3! (by eliminating the bishop Black gets counterplay) 36.cxd3 Qxd3+ 37.Ka1 b4. White’s attack has evaporated, and Black stands well with two pawns for the exchange.
