Round 8, Bilbao Masters: Nakamura 1 - Aronian 0
A really impressive squeeze by Nakamura! The minority attack is thematic in the Queen's Gambit Declined, but White usually pushes b2-b4 in the opening. But Hikaru defers the undermining operation until the endgame.

Evans-Opsahl, Dubrovnik 1952
I'd guess that this is probably Evans's best-known game. Nothing flashy here, but I don't know of a better introduction to the minority attack in the Queen's Gambit Declined. You'll find beginner-friendly annotations of this game by Evans himself in Chess Catechism
and by Irving Chernev in The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played
