As usual with bishops, attack and initiative
often play a greater role than material.

After 25 ... ..tc6 it is not completely clear

A.Shirov - J.Lautier
Munich 1993
Black derives no pleasure from his three extra
pawns and has to defend with care in order
not to lose quickly. With his sealed move, Joel
Lautier should definitely have activated the
g3-rook now.
1 ... @g8?
In our adjournment analysis, Alexei and I
(KM) had mainly worked on this move and not
found a win. Later, together with the German
trainer Claus Dieter Meyer, I was able to improve
on this adjournment analysis.

Joel overlooked this tricky move in his adjournment
analysis and at the board the toughest
defence is not easy to find. To force White to
drive him towards the queenside, Black's king
must first take a step in the other direction:

by the repetition and can now unleash the stronger
