10.Nbd2 Nc5 11.Bc2 Bg4 12.h3 {The most reasonable course here
is 12.Re1, guarding the e-pawn.} Bh5 13.Qe1 {?! Here again
13.Re1 ensured a very good game for White.} Ne6 14.Nh2 {?!}
Bg6 {!} 15.Bxg6 fxg6 {! Far seeing strategy! Black recognizes
that the f-file and not the e-file will be needed as a base
for action.} 16.Nb3 {Or 16.f4 d4!.} g5 {!} 17.Be3 O-O 18.Nf3
Qd7 19.Qd2 {White pays insufficient attention to the scope of
his opponent's threats. A better course is 19.Nfd4 (19...Nxe5
20.Bxg5) seeking to establish equality.} Rxf3 {!} 20.gxf3 Nxe5
