Nxe5} O-O-O?? {But he misses the chance} 12.Ne3?? {Still not seeing the threat of Nxe5, and also not seeing the threat of Nxf4} Nxf4? {Good for Black, but not as strong as Nxe5!} 13.exf6 a6?? {This invites White to play 14. Bxc6 Bxc6 15. Ne5 evening up the game 13.... gxf6 would have maintained Blacks advantage.} 14.Ng4 {Missing the opportunity of 14. Bxc6 etc.} Nh3+ 15.gxh3 axb5 16.Nge5?? {Probably the worst move on the board. Black simply plays gxf6 and his two mobile pawns gives him a winning edge. White could have played 16. Bg5 and stayed alive.} gxf6 17.Nxd7 Rxd7 18.Be3 Be7 19.Rad1 Rhd8 20.Rxd7 Rxd7 21.Kf2 b6 22.Ke2 Rd5 23.Rd1 Rh5 24.h4 h6 25.Rg1 e5 26.Rg6 e4 27.Nd2 Rxh4 28.Rxh6 Rxh6 29.Bxh6 f5 30.c3 Kd7 31.Bf4 Bd6 32.Ke3 Ne5 33.h4??
