11. Be3

Another plan:
13..., Qa5 unc. |

|
|
14. Ng5 Qe8

Not 14..., Qf5?!

Meaningful sacrifice! |

|
|
|
20... gxh5 21. Rxh5 Ra7
|
Maybe better: 21... Ne7
E.g. 22. Rxh6 Kg7 23. Qg4+ Ng6
24. Bg5 Qf7 25.Bf6+ +/-
|

|
|
|
22. Bxh6
|
22.Bxh6!
Inferior would be 22.Rxh6, Rg7 =/+, -/+ |

|
|
|
22... Rff7 23. Qg4+
|
23.Qg4!
White wins material and a much better position. |
