I will have a look at the fascinating Kalashnikov battle between Leinier Dominguez and Hikaru Nakamura. An absolute model game from Black’s perspective, as it shows that having the bishop pair doesn’t guarantee an automatic advantage! The black knights nicely jumped around, looking for strong outposts. Once they arrived in the vicinity of the white king, it was game over pretty soon.
Exercise: Do you see how Black can finish off the game?
Feel free to move the pieces on the live diagram!
