Peter Svidler vs Peter Leko · 2005 · move 22.
Which b-pawn advance attacks the knight on a5?
Svidler’s win over Leko at the 2005 world championship tournament begins with a Ruy Lopez structure and develops into a sequence of active piece moves. A pawn advance drives away a knight, the remaining rook changes its route, and White’s knight reaches c6. The final rook entry works together with those earlier improvements.
