Hoang-Cornette,D

After 20..Qb6(Diagram)

Black sacrificed a pawn for active play and now pieces are hanging all over the board.

What do you suggest for White?

After 20..Qb6

Later in the game

After 31..Kg7(Diagram)

White has the better structure with a queenside majority and play against an isolated QP. Also the bishop pair counts for something.

What do you suggest?

After 31..Kg7

Find the knockout blow.

Kalaiyalahan-Gara,T

After 32.Nd6(Diagram)

The strong knight on d6 gives some compensation for the pawn but Black also has strongly centralized minor pieces.

A pawn is pawn so how should Black continue?

Black unnecessarily weakening his kingside pawns shield earlier and hopes the bishops and c-pawn will be enough compensation after taking the c5-pawn.

How should White deal with this plan?
