Qa5+ 12 b4 Nxe5 13 dxe5 Qxe5 14 b5, which is Ok but overlooked Black's desperado 12th move} (11...Qa5+ 12.b4 Nxe5 13.dxe5 Qxe5 14.b5) 12.Qxd5 Nxf3+ 13.Bxf3 cxd5 14.exd5 Rd8 15.d6! exd6? {15 ... e6 and 15 ...

Now black has little play} 18.Bc6+ Kc7 19.Be3 Kb8 20.Bd4 {restraining black's knight} Rhg8 21.O-O {restraint again and planning the winning manoeuvre} Rdf8 22.Rf3 Ne4 23.Rb3+ {the switch of the rook is killing. With white's other rook joining in via c1, black is defenceless} {#r} 1-0
