  InspiredByMorphy: 11.Bb5+ is stronger than it looks. At first I thought blacks reaction with 11. ...Kf7 was a little extreme, but upon closer examination I see why it was played. If 11. ...Bd7 or 11. ...Nd7 then 12.Qxg4 Nf6 13.Bxf6 Bxf6 14.Qh5+ appears to give white an advantage. I conclude that 9. ...Nh5 is a dubious move. 17.Qxg4! is quite the move. 18.Qe6+ is a huge threat which black prevents with 17. ...Ne5 , but after 18.Qxf4 whites positional advantage is apparent. In the finish white threatens 23.Rxe5 dxe5 24.Nxh5+ and if 22. ...Rf8 23.Rxe5 dxe5 24.Qxe5 threatening 25.Nxh5 double check looks like it wins. Extraordinary play by Fedorov!
