11.Bxf7+!! Much better was 10...Qa5 because of the difference between the queen being on a5 and c7. 11.Bxf7+ Kxf7 12.Qc4+ Ke8 13.Qe6+ Kd8 14.0–0–0 Kc7 and the king now has an escape square.] Kxf7 12.Qc4+ Ke7 [12...Ke8 13.Qe6+ Kd8 14.0–0–0 b5 15.Nxe5] 13.Nh4 Nb6 14.Ng6+ Ke8 15.Bxb6 axb6 16.Nxh8 [And now the game is effectively over. White is the exchange up and the black king is stuck in the middle. Black gives up the ghost a few moves later.] 16...g5 17.Ng6 Bc5 18.0–0–0 Black Resigns
