Sorry, it doesn't come to mind, but this does remind me of a similar story. A friend of mine was always in search of a Botvinnik game (possible a Reti Opening) where he opened from the flank, destroyed the center, and just marched the d and e pawns down the board in the middlegame. It sounded awesome, but I don't think I ever found it.

A long time ago I watched an annotated Kasparov game where he had his opponent in sort of a super-zugzwang. He literally couldn't move any piece.
Not much to go on, but do any of you know which game I'm talking about? I want to watch it again.
