Some people here might remember my conviction that Black should play for a win at all times.Yes,indeed,you could call me an adept of GM Andras Adorjan's chessphilosophy,see:
http://www.gmsquare.com/BlackisOKAdorjan.html.
I will post here 3 short games to illustrate that Black can and SHOULD play to win!He even named the games.Enjoy! 😀

[White Spassov]
[Black Adorjan]
[Result -1]
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 d6 4. Nf3 g6 5. g3 Bg7 6. Bg2 b5 7. cxb5 a6 8. bxa6 Qa5+ 9. Nc3
{
?9.Nfd2 would transpose in a variation of the benko gambit and
after 9.Bd2,Qxa6 followed by Nbd7 ...,Nb6 etc...black gets good counterplay
}
9... Ne4 10. Qc2
{
??Loses right away,but white also stood badly after 10.Bd2,Nxc3 11.bxc3,Bxc3
when black regains both pawns with a clear advantage
}
10... Nxc3 11. Bd2 Qa4
{
white resigns.After 12.b3,Qe4! white is a piece down.
}
0-1

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Ba6 5. b3 d5 6. Bg2 dxc4 7. Ne5 Bb4+ 8.
Bd2
{
?!White goes astray,correct was 8.Kf1!
}
8... cxb3 9. Nc6
{
?A grave error.9.Bxb4?,b2 10.Nc3,bxa1(Q) 11.Qxa1,Qxd4 or 9.Qxb3?,Bxd2
10.Nxd2,Qxd4 would also have led to a won position for black
9.axb2! was the only move,when after 9....,Bxd2+ 10.Qxd2,Nd5 11.0-0,0-0
12.Rc1,Bb7 13.Nc3 White could try to claim the pawn loss as a sacrifice.
}
9... b2 10. Nxb4 bxa1=Q 11. Bc3 Qxc3+ 12. Nxc3 c6
{
The storm has blown over.White now apparently realised that he had lost
a rook in the confusion.Therefore...white resignes.
}
0-1
