Rat1960: Not 11. ... Qa5 but 11. ... 0-0 as black has Nd5 in the toolbox since Bg7 is not hanging |

Jan-25-21 Caruana vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2021 
|
Rat1960: I guess 14. e6 Bxe6 15. f5 looks pretty lively when the open files, king in the middle but for three pawns is exciting stuff.
15. ... Bxf 16. 0-0 Qc5+ 17. Kh1 |

Rat1960: 21. ... Qc6 22. f5 gxf5 23. Qe5
21. ... Qc6 22. f5 Bd7 23. c4 Rfe8 24. Qd2
Neither of which look good for black to me.
So I don't think it was so much compensation as drawing chances if you look at the game at say 26.
Think the Rd6 and f5 hitting g6 is where white starts to ... |

Rat1960: The what if line for some reason is always left short:
18. .. dxe3 19. Nxf6+ Kh8 20. Rh4 h6 21. Rxh6+ gxh6 22. Nd5+ Kh7 23. Nxc7
most leave it here but the what if really has to consider the back row mate and trapped knight e2

Mar-03-17 H Platz vs J Szily, 1952
|
Rat1960: At move 17. white is interested in Bd3 and Qh6. So white does not offer the rook but goes with the pawn on f6.
I do not get 15. ... Nd5 over 15. ... Nxe5 16. Bf4 Bc6 17. Qd4 Nfd7 |
