black resigns after a very valiant fight. Black managed to hold white to a draw out of the opening. Even in the middle game black was doing very well. However, black did try the great but risky 17. ...c5 which needed razor sharp defending on his part to pull off. In the end, black misplayed the isolated pawn and got crushed on the king side. From a teaching perspective it is instructive to walk through how white executed a well formed plan that ended with a classic attack on the king side. In my opinion players who swear by playing attack chess will do well to understand how and why White's attack succeeded.
