In one of my correspondence games, I reached a position with a significant material imbalance. So I searched through my databases for positions with similar imbalances. Lo and behold, I found some very interesting games! Here are two dozen extraordinary games that are well worth a look. And here are my two favorites:
1.Nf3 d6 2.d4 g6 3.e4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bg7 5.Be2 0-0 6.0-0 c6 7.a4 Nbd7 8.Re1 e5 9.Bf1 Re8 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.a5 Qc7 12.Be3 Nf8 13.h3 Ne6 14.Ra4 Nh5 15.Nb1 Rd8 16.Nbd2 Bf8 17.b4 Nd4 18.c3 Nxf3+ 19.Qxf3 Be6 20.Rea1 Rd7 21.Nc4 Nf4 22.Nb6 axb6 Diagram
