16... Nd5

Black could have done the same with 16... Bc6!? and equalise the position, but the text-move is less accurate, in my opinion.

17. Bb2
|
Now white definitely has some advantage, since the white bishops are more powerful then their black counterparts.

|
17... O-O
|
Black avoids the capture on g7 by castling, leaving white a lot of space on the king side, but how to continue?

18. Ng5
|
This is the move I spend the most time on during the game. I wanted to set up an attack and since this move threatens the pawn on h7 it is the most forcing. Then again, the knight can still be easily chased away by 18... h6, so I almost discarded the idea, but then I saw something which convinced me that I had to play the move and so I gently moved my knight to g5.

18... h6

As expected.

19. Qh5
|
The only move to keep the advantage, though with correct defence I think black should be OK.

19... Nf4
|
But this is a blunder by my opponent, unfortunately for him, he didn't see the move which had convinced me to play 18.Ng5 in the first place. The text-move looks tempting ofcourse, black wants to eliminate the strong bishop op d3 and it seems he can, since the white queen is also under attack, but now my opponent had a wake up call.

My opponent sportingly allowed me to say a chess-player's favourite word...
