10.O-O O-O 11.Rc1 Rd8 {?! This plan does not promise an equal
game. Better is 11...Nxc3.} 12.Qc2 Nf8 13.e4 Nb6 {?! Not a
favorable square for the knight. Better is 13...Nxc3.} 14.Bb3
Bd7 15.Ne2 {!} Be8 16.Rfd1 Rac8 17.Qc3 {!} Rc7 18.Nf4 f6
19.Qa5 {! The attack against the a-pawn is effective, because
19...Nc8 will be refuted by 20.Nxe6! On the other hand, the
promising looking move 19.d5 does not bring something decisive
after 19...exd5 20.exd5 Kh8 or, perhaps better, 19...Bf7.} g5

24.d6+ Rf7 25.Qxf6 Rdd7 26.Re1 Qb5 27.Rxe8 Qxb3 28.Qxg5+ and
White wins.} 22.Ned4 {!} cxd5 23.exd5 Rxd5 {Loss of an
exchange was unavoidable; for instance, 23...exd5 24.Ba4 b6
