  Honza Cervenka: Opening disaster for white. Already 9.e5 looks a bit dubious in this setup but definitely wrong was 11.d4? (11.Qe2 seems to be playable) 11...cxd4 12.cxd4? (To give up a Pawn after 12.Nxd4 looks like a lesser evil.) followed by crushing 12...Nb4. Here white could still save the Exchange by playing 13.Rb1 but it gives black a Pawn a2 without any compensation. White's continuation 13.Re3 seemingly covers the threatening fork (13...Nc2?? 14.Rc3) but black has quite simple and very effective continuation in 13...Qc2! attacking unprotected white Queen, which cannot take on c2 for 14...Nxc2 with fork on both Rooks again and which has no good field for retreat, as 14.Qe2 or 14.Qf1 can be replied with 14...Ba6 15.Qe1 Qg6 and the fork on c2 is unavoidable. White could still try to play 14.Re1!? with idea 14...Qg6 15.Ne4!?, where 15...dxe4 after 16.Nh4 Bxh4 17.Bxe4 f5 18.Bxa8 gives white a Rook and Pawn for two minor pieces but black can play also 15...Ba6! 16.Bg5 Bxg5 17.Nexg5 Nc2 18.Nh4 Qd3 19.Bf1 Qxd1 20.Raxd1 Nxe1 21.Bxa6 Nc2 22.Bd3 h6 23.Nxe6 fxe6 24.Bxc2 with an ending, where black has an Exchange for a Pawn and good winning chances, but white can still resist. 14.Qe1 Qg6 leaves white in hopeless position, which quickly collapses.
