user23242: I was looking the Chess glossary and two words brought curiosity : bad bishop and big pawn. Where the later being the condition that occurs when you have a bad bishop. One thing i noticed was bad bishop was always defined on end game reference. I don't understand why? Can't you have bad bishop or a big pawn mid-game or relatively early game!(?) 
 Found these images for bad bishop and big pawn on Wikipedia:
 
Hence, I wanted to know if there were any games where big pawn leads a chess player to victory (When enemy has a good bishop) at an international stage?
or rephrasing the above as "occurrences where bad bishop was more significant to victory than a good bishop?"

user11749: My understanding is that we call a bad bishop a "big pawn" especially in the endgame to emphasize the fact that the bishop cannot be considered a full piece in these situations. It can't move much. It is very passive. Having such a bishop is a long term handicap.
You are right, these situations can also occur earlier in the game, but there is always a hope that a passive bishop can be traded or become more active when the position opens. 
For instance, in the Dutch Stonewall, the Bc8 is a bad bishop but you can try to trade it by playing Bc8-d7-e8-h5 or via a6 in some cases. Having such a bishop earlier in the game is a handicap, but calling it "big pawn" would be too definitive, the bishop can live again!
*"Occurrences where bad bishop was more significant to victory than a good bishop?"
In the early stages of the game this is very possible and I'm sure we could find examples in the Dutch Stonewall or in the French defense where the Bc8 wins the game. In the endgame, I guess this will only happen if the opponent makes a mistake to turn a bad bishop into a winner. 
Here follows an example, where the bishop in e6 is a "big pawn". White could have taken advantage of that and won the game. But in the end, after White's mistakes, the "bad" bishop wins the game!
