Here's another one with black hyper-activity vs the space "advantage" in the ...e5xd4 structure. This is game 53 in Donaldson (1991)

A Universal Weapon 1.d4 d6 arrived. It's worth pointing out that, unlike Yrjola/Tella and Zude/Hickl, Barsky is not in a hurry to play ...c7-c6. He is quite dismissive of the Rg1, g4 plan, offering Sosonko - Hort, Bad Kissingen 1981
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1058243 1.d4 d6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 dxe5 4.Qxd8+ Kxd8 5.Nc3 Be6 6.b3 Nd7 7.Nf3 f6 8.Rg1 Bb4 9.Bd2 Nh6 10.Ne4 Bxd2+ 11.Kxd2 Nf7 12.e3 Ke7 13.Be2 Nd6 14.Nxd6 cxd6 =. The only caveat is, that wasn't a real fight. In this 6-player double RR, won by Korchnoi with 9/10, Hort and Sosonko drew in 15 moves in round 4, and in 20 moves in round 9. Seirawan was the fighter, and it would have been more interesting to see him trying with either color in this opening. I played around with the more combative
10.a3 Be7 11.Bxh6!?
gxh6, but the black bishops are strong enough, and the white queenside pawns are sensitive enough, that it still seems equal.
