12. ... Nxc2?! looks tempting with 13. Qxc2 Bf2 but after 14. Kd1 black loses a piece
(14. Kxf2? of course loses the queen) |

12... O-O-O 13. Nxc5 Qxc5 14. Be3

a total blunder, allows black to play 14. ... Nxc2 |

14... Nxc2+ 15. Kd2
|
The worst place for the king, as he will be exposed to a crushing attack by black.
However 15.Kf1 loses the queen to Nxe3 and 15. Kf2 is met with ... Qxe3 15. Kf1 Nxa1 and white is lost in any case. |

15... Rxd3+
|
a nice move by black 16. Kxd3? leads to ... Bf5 17. Kd2 Qxe3 mate |

16. Kxd3
|
missed the mate in two, however 16. Kc1 leads soon to a mate as well |
