Daniil Dubov
Daniil Dubov is known for his unusually creative chess, and currently he is showing it online at the Airthings Masters. In the beginning of December Dubov played live in the Russian Championship 2020 in Moscow where he finished on shared third place and played a number of interesting games.
In round 5 Dubov played against Vladislav Artemiev and was lucky to escape with a draw. White's last move was 20.bxc3 and now it's Black to play and win. What did Artemiev miss?

But it seems that Dubov is also capable of playing strategic masterpieces - as he showed with his impressive win against Aleksey Goganov in round 8.

The idea in the Dubov-Artemiev game is 20...d4, threatening the knight which is guarding against the mate threat on the c2 sqaure so white is more or less forced to play 21. cxd4. Now black can play 21...Qa2+ 22. Kc1 and has the choice between 22...Qa3+ 23. Kd2 exd4 with threats against the knight and white's king or 22...Nc6, opening the diagonal for his bishop with threats of ...Qa3+ and ...Bb4+. If white decides to captures the knight instead with 21.cxb4, then 21...Qa2+ 22. Kc1 Qa1+ 23. Kd2 Bxb4+ and mate next move.
