Krush’s 2006 Olympiad game against Nadezhda Kosintseva features two knights working with central pawn advances. An e-pawn move attacks the queen, the f-pawn reaches the sixth rank and a knight capture tests the pawn cover around Black’s king. The queen then enters g5, where the advanced pawn and active pieces strengthen the attack.
