11. h3
With the idea of g2-g4-g5

 
11... Bb4
At last some sort of attacking move by black. The threat is Nb6-a4 and Qd8-a5.

 
12. Qc2
So I decide to stop that.

 
12... Bd7
He develops again.

 
13. g4
I continue with my attack.

14. g5
and I continue with my plans.

 
14... hxg5
He takes.

 
15. Bxg5
I take back, threatening e4-e5.

 
15... Be7
I think this is a mistake. Qd8-c7 seems better to me.

16. e5
So I continue with my plan.

 
16... Nfd5
Knight immediately goes to the strong square on d5.

 
17. Bxe7
I take.

17... Qxe7
I think this is a mistake, and he should have taken back with the knight, so that he can meet Nc3-e4 with Ne7-f5.

 
18. Ne4
Now he is in real trouble.

 
18... Nb4
Probably best, exchanging off my bishop for his knight.

19. Qb3
So the queen moves.

19... Nxd3+
He takes with check.

 
20. Rxd3
I take back.

20... Rc7
So that if I check on d6, my knight is not attacking his rook. What would you play now dear reader? To check or not?
