For a few weeks now I have been revisiting GM Adrian Mikhalchishin's article, written for the FIDE Trainers' Commission, "Destroying the Opponent's Center". In this article, Mikhalchishin presents several examples taken from games played last century, wonderful examples, and three examples from this century. So I started looking for recent examples on this important topic. I share one of them. I encourage you all to share some examples, from your own games or games you consider instructive.
Note: Stockfish 16.1 considers the knight sacrifice on move fourteen to be wrong, although, from a human point of view, this sacrifice created big problems for the opponent.
