11... Bxd7
if N*d7, will lead to N*e4 followed by 0-0-0 ..better for white. So B*d7 is better,

 
12. Bxf6
doubling the blacks pawn .and take out the support of black's e4 pawn.

 
12... gxf6
forced

 
13. fxe4
forced , as N * e4 will lose the knight at f5.although e pawn will be an isolated pawn.

 
13... Bxf5
otherwise, knight got a strong post at f5..

 
14. exf5
its ok..as isolated e pawn moved to f file connecting to g pawn.

 
14... Bb4
as game moving towards end game, good move to destroy white's pawn structure. And whiote cant avoid it

 
15. O-O-O
Even though,. b file is getting open after next B*c3, putting Rook on d file immediately..seems better then 0-0.

 
15... Bxc3
distroying white's pawn structure.

 
16. bxc3
no ther way.

 
16... Rg8
occupying the open g file.

 
17. Rd2
other options were g3, Rhg1,..But Rd2 ..seems better, as next plan to take Rhe1 & doubling the roook.....make strong.

 
17... Rd8
Blocking the open d file with equal strenth... and if white exchanges immediately, black king get a move to move towards queen side.

 
18. Rhd1
doubling the rook and if black exchanges, white rook will get the open d file.

 
18... Rxd2
If K e7, then after both rook exchanged, black king will go back to d8, and white king will get the move to enter the field earlier.

 
19. Rxd2
forced

 
19... h5
preventing white's g4 to support f5 pawn.

 
20. h3
prefventing Rg4 AND if rook leaves the g file, white can play g4

 
20... h4
Rg4 might have stronger...attacking f5 pawn, ( g4 cant support it )..white need Rf2, leaving open d file.

 
21. Kb2
Time to use KIng as a piece in endgame.
