myschkin: . . .
<8.Nxd4>
Swapping off Black’s best developed piece and forcing Black to make a decision.
<10.e5!>
Trapping the bishop in on d4, and threatening both Ne2 and Be4.
<10...Ra7?!>
Black continues with his ultra-aggressive plan but he really needed to develop his kingside. In the post-mortem we looked at 10...Bxc3, but came to the conclusion that White still has the advantage. 11 dxc3 c4 (if 11...Nh6 either 12 a4 Qb6 13 Qe2 c4 14 Be4 or just 12 c4 is good for White) 12 Be2 Nh6 13 Bf3!, swapping off lack’s strong light-squared bishop.
<12...Bxb2?!>
Again Loek plays far too ambitiously. However, 12..Rxb7 13 dxc3 is also very unpleasant for Black, as 13...Nh6? runs into 14 f5! Nxf5 15 g4! Nh4 16 Bg5 and the knight is trapped.
<15...Qb6?>
Black’s final mistake and a fatal one. 15...Qc7 is forced, with the subtle idea that after 16 e6 f6 17 fxg6 hxg6 18 Bxf6 exf6 19 Qxf6 Qxh2+!! is playable swapping off queens after 20 Kxh2 Ng4+ 21 Kg3 Nxf6 22 Rxf6, though White still retains all the winning chances here. Otherwise White can try 17 exd7+ Qxd7 18 fxg6 hxg6 19 Rae1 or 16 e6 f6 17 d4 with good compensation for the pawn in either case.
<16.e6!>
Crashing through.
