Here  is the Rd 1 game of Fairbairn,Stephen(CAN)

Black lost some time with …Bf5-c8 and got squeezed over the whole board after missing a chance for active play.

King’s Indian[E90]
Tradewise Gibratar Chess Festival 2013  (1.62), 22.01.2013

Position 1
Black has just played 21..a6 to expel Nb5 and perhaps was hoping to get in …b5 to escape the bind. How should white respond?
