Black ought to have played Qa5 13 Ba4 Qh5; of course he cannot play 12...hxg5 because of 13 Nd6+, winning the Queen.} 13. Bh4 Re8 14. Re3 Bd6 15. Rae1 Qb5 16. Nxd6 cxd6 17. Qa3 a5 18. c3 Qb6 19.

If White prepared the advance of the Queen’s Bishop’s Pawn by 20 b3, he would have a good attack; the continuation might be then b5 21 Rc1 Rd8 22 c4 bxc4 23 bxc4 c5 24 d5 Bf5 25 Rce1(!), with an excellent game.} Bxc4 21.
