Na5 may be better, but this is fine} 8.Nf3 Bd6 {Stockfish thinks White is a bit better here, but I was happy. It is difficult to find a good plan for White} 9.Bg5 f6 10.Be3 Nd7 11.Bb5 O-O 12.Bxd7 Bxd7 {Now Black is slightly better} 13.O-O Qe7 {Stockfish prefers 13 .. f5} 14.c4 b6 15.Nd2 g6 {Again Stockfish prefers 15 .. f5} 16.Nb3 f5 17.f3 f4 18.Bf2 g5 {Stockfish says the position is equal, but I prefer Black} 19.Rc1 Kh8 20.c5 bxc5 21.Nxc5 Bc8 22.Qa4? {Not a good plan, though Black is a bit better anyway} Rg8 {22 .. g4 is more direct} 23.Qc6 Rb8 {While this is fine, Stockfish thinks Black should play 23 .. g4 and sacrifice the rook. I never considered that} 24.Na6 Bd7 {24 .. Rb2 is better} 25.Qc3 Rbf8 26.Qa5 {Black’s attack is too strong now. Better is 26 Nc5 Bc8 27 g4 which is about equal according to Stockfish} g4 27.Rc3 g3 28.Be1 Qh4 29.h3 Bxh3 30.gxh3 Qxh3 {Black mates in two more moves} {#R} 0-1
