Here is another famous example: white controls the center, but black has a queen's side pawn majority.
Black wins if he can trade to an endgame, so white must use his center to attack.

"how do you know so many different games ?"

  • I studied some annotated grandmaster games.
    As for the last game, a friend of mine was present there.
