Nb6 poses questions about the usefulness of White's early kingside advance. Now it is Black's pawn push which looks questionable, as he will have difficulties defending b4.} 11. Nce2 d5 {11... a5 12. O-O-O gives White a huge lead in development. But the text meets with an energetic refutation.} 12. exd5 Bxd5 13. Nf4 Bb7 14. Nfxe6 fxe6 15. Nxe6 Qc8 16. Bh3 Bxf3 {It is hard to find a good move for Black.} 17. O-O Bb7 {Now I saw 18. Rxf8+! Rxf8 19. Nxg7+ Kf7 20. Be6+! Kxg7 21. Bd4+ Kg6 22.
