Here is a cracker! In this game, black presses too quickly and then finds that white pushes him back on both flanks almost back to his original starting squares. At this point black is totally fooled by a beautiful transposition of roles. White's dark bishop infiltrates right into the core of black's position, as if it were a knight!:
When a Bishop Becomes a Knight!
To be fair, black played without computer assistance despite it being an Advanced Chess960 game. It is a very funny example and really amazing how well whites flanking pawns calmly and confidently push back the opponent so deeply allowing the bishop to infiltrate like that.
