I am interested in this opening. Any advice or any games with it are appreciated.

Are you really or is it just because of fashion? Anyway, just look at Kramnik's games from the Mexico WC last year.

Actually I have no clue whats in fashion and what isn't...So I guess that means that I am really interested.

Also, there were several games in the Kasparov-Karpov matches 1984-1990...

I was actually looking for games people have played on here and maybe any advice people would be willing to impart.

I play (and love) the Catalan and my advice would be to do it whenever possible. Generally it helps me keep my king out of the way until the endgame. Check out most of my games and you'll find one. I'm not a particularly interesting player but the most useful stuff is where I've had my defence deconstructed by superior players.

If I'm not feeling too lazy later I'll hunt out a couple.

Never played it myself, so can't give any useful advice.
