Russian Team Championship 2008 6th Round
Onischuk Alexander - Morozevich Alexander, Russian Team Championship 2008, 6th Round.1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5 c5 7.e3 Nbd7 8.Bd3 Qa5 9.Qc2 c4 10.Bf5 0-0 11.0-0 Re8 12.Nd2 g6 13.Bh3 Kg7!? 13..Bxc3 is common choice here, but of course, there's nothing wrong with 13..Kg7. 14.Bh4!?
White usually goes for 14.Rae1.
14..Nb6 15.Bxc8
New move, old is 15.Nb3.This move took place in game Alekseev Evgeny - Morozevich Alexander, Russian Team Championship 2007, 7th Round! 15..Raxc8 16.Bxf6+ Kxf6 17.a3 Bxc3 18.bxc3 Na4 19.Rac1 Kg7 ( diagram )  click for larger viewBlack is a better, his main threat is Rc6-b6-b2.On the other hand White faces problems with thematic e4 push. 20.e4 dxe4 21.Nxe4 Rc6 22.f3?
White lost his head here, 22.f3 is not making any sence, making a hole in your own position without any reason is a positional holocaust.22.Rce1 is better but verdict is the same, Black is better. 22..Nb6?
Not using his chance.22..f5 with Rce6 next is very good for Black. 23.Qb2 Re7 24.Nc5 Nd5 ( diagram )

Black is on top, a3, c3 and e3 are targets, Knight on d5 is godlike.Hard to give advice to White here, maybe 25.a4!? 25.Nxb7?? Qb6 0-1
After 26.Qxb6 axb6 Knight is trapped.
