Here is a nice game by Qiyu Zhou(follow her on FB, photo from her page)

.

Zhou-Wafa

Sicilian Dragon 9.g4

Canada-Egypt Rd7

After 13..Nc6(Diagram)

Black is quite passively placed for the aggressive Dragon

White do you recommend for White?

TWIC 1248 Canadians in Action

Selected games features the Olympiad

Yarmonov-Hansen,E

Grunfeld Exchange 7.Be3

IPCA-Canada

43rd Olympiad 2018 Rd10 

 

After 39.Kg1(Diagram)

Black sacrificed an exchange for a pawn to get the bishop pair and active counterplay early in the game

Now the endgame remains sharp and the bishop pair is more active than White’s rook pair

What do you recommend for Black now?
