12. e4 |
He advances in the centre. Rudy points out the game (12... Ne8 13. Re1 Nec7 14. Bf1 Rb8 15. Nb5 Nxb5 16. cxb5 Nc7 17. a4 f5 18. b3 e5 19. Nc4 Ne8 20. f4 exf4 21. Bxf4 Bd4+ 22. Be3 Bxe3+ 23.

13... Rb8 |
I threaten it again. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14. a4 |
He stops b7-b5 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14... Na6 |
But he has stopped it at the cost of weakening his b4 square, so I decide to put a knight there. | ||||||||

15. h3 |
I didn't think 15. h3 was a very good move at the time, and both Stockfish and Fritz seem to agree with that. However at this time I thought I had a good position, but they both give advantage to white. | ||||||||

15... Nb4 |
So the knight pops in. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
16. f4 |
The central advance starts! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||

16... Nh5 |
I attack g3. | ||||||||

17. Kh2 |
He protects. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
17... e5 |
So that g3-g4 can be met with Nh5-f4 | ||||||||

18. dxe6 e.p. |
He takes the pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18... fxe6 |
I take back. Now g3-g4 can be met with Nh5xf4 again, as my Rf8 now has an open file. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
19. Nf3 |
Knight returns to f3 to support a central advance. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
19... d5 |
I thought this was a clever pseudo-sacrifice, but computer programs don't seem to back me up. Stockfish prefers 19....Nc6 and Fritz prefers Qe7, Qc7 or Bc6. Perhaps that just shows how complex this game has become. | ||||||||

20. exd5 |
He takes this way. The computers prefer cxd5 | ||||||||
