The Bg2xNc6 for Doubled c-Pawns Plan
The positon after 8...Be6(diagram) seems fairly innocuous.

8...Be6

Ex-World Champion Tigran Petrosian came up with the remarkable 9.Bxc6!? idea, giving up the strong bishop to play against the broken queenside pawns.

Ex-World Champion Petrosian,Tigran V
Here is the feature game.

Petrosian,Tigran V (2640) - Szabo,Laszlo (2565)
English 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 c5 3.g3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.Bg2 Nc7 [A34]
IBM Amsterdam (1), 1973


Position 1
Black is playing hard to exploit white's uncastled king and has given a piece for a pawn. White wants to neutralize black's threats as efficiently as possible. What do you recommend for white?
