Sep-24-15  goldenbear: Shouldn't Black play a few more moves?
Sep-25-15  Ulhumbrus: 19 Qd3 hinders the plan of ...Ne7-g6-f4 by pinning the d6 pawn and threatening dxe5. 19...Rad8 is not really an answer because on 20 Rxg8 Rxg8 displaces the defender of the bishop on d7 and 20...Kxg8 concedes the g file. One alternative is 19...Bc6 removing the target and getting ready for ...Ng6
Sep-28-15  rainingpieces: Someone might wonder at first (like me) that does not 10.Nxe5 win a pawn since knight is hanging on h5. But if we continue a bit further: 10.Nxe5 Nxg3 11.Nxc6 and 11..Qf6 with a clear advantage to Black. There is a mate threat on f2! If 12.Ne7+ then 12..Kh7!
