Here is a round 8 game of China’s GM Ma Qun vs GM Cherniaev of Russia in Hastings Masters 2013-2014, Hastings England. The official website of the tournament described the game - Qun Ma v Alexander Cherniaev was a very different matter, The Chinese GM built up positional pressure against the Russian GM, who is in England very frequently. Eventually Black could no longer keep control of c5 and so lost a pawn. But Alexander continued to fight, only to lose eventually.
