Again, this looks better than Rhe1. Black's dark squared bishop is now in a coffin, and Rhe1 looms disastrously.

 
13... Qf6
Giving the king some running room.

 
14. Rhe1+
Finally completing development! Notice all the things white is threatening/attacking, and how impotent black's pieces appear to be.

 
14... Kd8
Pretty much forced. Although Dean resigned here, and it's early, black doesn't really have a good shot here. White has a lot to dish out, and black doesn't have the pieces in the right places to defend. Simple moves, like Qe3, are almost impossible to defend against. Black resigns.
