  tpstar: The Knight fork idea is cute but only serves to exchange Queens and waste time, leaving White with N&P vs. R. Thus the game becomes a duel between passed Pawns, so Black advances the c4/d4 duo immediately with 15 ... d3. But White can't control the g8 Queening square (18. Bg5+?! Kf7 19. Nf6 Rxg7), while Black has active piece play with the QN & KB on the Queenside. Note 18 ... b5! forcing a favorable trade instead of 18 ... Bxg7 19. Bc5+ Kf7 20. Rc1 Rad8 21. Ne3. Then 20 ... Rad8 & ... Rd1+ wraps it up.

"Juniors and students, never post your e-mail address on this site for any reason."

The exchange sacrifice 10.Qd5 11.RxBe6+ does not work out after the exchange of queens. White cannot promote the g-pawn. After exchanges, it is Black's passed c-pawn that generates a threat.
