What would follow 14..hxg5? 14..hxg5 15.Bb5+ seems to lead to a mass exchange at d2, and I count a rook and two pieces for black against a queen and pawn . . .

I liked black's defensive play, especially 18..Be4.

<7...e7>

<10...h6> or 10...0-0-0 11.e5 etc

<11.b4> there!

<12.dc> here 12.f7 was very interesting in order to produce complications, using the Tal principle that when one of Your pieces is en prise, You can put another of Your pieces en prise instead of flying or defending the attacked piece - the point is that after 12...f7 13.fe1!! cb4 14.e6 e8 15.d7! black cannot take the third piece in 'd7' without concessions: a) 15...d7 16.d3 although black will get ++ for ++, his is exposed and pieces disconnected; b) 15...d7 16.b5 etc; c) 15...d8!? (black can even try to spare the ...) 16.e5! d7 17.c4! is an excellent starting point for researches - white sacrificed already two pieces and is still on the attack! now f7 check is a so formidable threat, that only two replies can be considered: a) 17...e5, leading to 18.de e8 19.b5! f7 20.d7! etc;
