9. f3 b4 10. Nce2?!
 
Played a tempo and soon facing an unpleasant surprise. Consulting my database later on I learnt that 10.b1 is correct and promising. [10. Nb1! Qb6 11. g4 d5 (11... Rd8 12. h4 c5 13. Nf5 Bf5 14. gf5 Nc6 15. Qg2 Nd4 16. Bh6 Ne8 17. Bg5 Nf6 18. Nd2 Qb7 19. Bd3 Kh8 20. Rdg1 Rg8 21. f4 White has a moderate advantage Lanka,Z-Bosboom/Amsterdam DON open (04) 1994 1-0 (35)) 12. e5 Ne8 13. Nf5 (13. h4 Nc7 14. Nf5 Bc5 15. Bd3 Nd7 16. Bh6 Ne5 17. Ng7 Kh8 18. Nh5 Ne8 19. Qg5 Nf3 20. Bg7 Kg8 21. Bh7 Kh7 22. Qh6 Kg8 23. Qh8# 1-0 Hyldkrog-Jensen/cr 1984) 13... Bc5 14. Re1 a5 15. h4 Na6 16. h5 Nac7 17. Bg5 f6 18. ef6 Nf6 19. Ng7 Kg7 20. Bh6 Kh8 21. Bf8 Bf8 22. Qf4 Nd7 23. g5 c5 24. Qf7 c4 25. Bh3 Qd4 26. h6 Bd6 27. Bf5 Nf8 28. Rh4 1-0 Poulsen-Jensen/cr 1984]

$146
 
11. Nf5
 
[11. Nb5? Qa5 12. Na3 Nc6 (12... Qa4)] [11. Nb3!? c4 12. Nbd4 Qa5 13. Kb1 unclear position]
 
11... Bf5 12. ef5 Nc6?
 
[12... d5! 13. g4 d4 Black has a slight advantage]
 
13. g4 Qa5 14. Kb1 Ne5 15. Ng3!
 
White has a moderate advantage
 
15... Nfd7
 
[15... Nf3 16. Qg2 (16. Qe2 Ne5 17. Be5 (17. g5 Nfd7 18. Bg2 White has sufficient compensation for material deficit) 17... de5 18. g5 Ne8 19. f6 gf6 20. Nf5 White has the attack) 16... Nh4 (16... Ne5 17. g5) 17. Qh3 Ne8 18. g5 White has a moderate advantage]
 
16. Be5! Ne5
 
[16... de5 17. Qd7! Rad8 18. Bc4 Rd7 19. Rd7 with a promising position in return for the queen sacrifice]
 
17. f4! Nc6 18. g5 Nd4 19. Bc4
 
White has a moderate advantage
 
19... d5 20. Bd5 Rad8 21. Qg2 Bd6 22. f6!
 
[22. g6 was also possible of course but the text is more energetic]
 
22... Qc7
 
[22... g6 23. h4! Bf4 24. h5! and Black can win material but he cannot stop the attack]
 
23. g6!?
 
Still playing for the attack but it was very simple to take on g7 and win in a few moves. [23. fg7! White has a decisive advantage 23... Kg7 (23... Rfe8 24. Nh5 Re2 25. Nf6 Kg7 26. Qh3 h5 27. Nh5 Kf8 28. Ng3) 24. Nh5 Kh8 25. Nf6 Be7 26. Qh3 Bf6 27. Be4]
 
23... hg6 24. Nh5
 
[24. Rd4 my original idea when I played 23.g6 24... cd4 25. Nf5 Rc8! 26. Rc1 d3] [24. Ne4!? As suggested by Conquest was still strong enough 24... Ne6 singular move 25. Be6 fe6 26. Qg6 (26. Ng5!) 26... Bf4 27. fg7 Rd1 (27... Rf7 28. Nf6) 28. Rd1 Qg7 29. Qe6 Kh8 30. Nc5]

32... Qd6 33. Bc4 f5 34. Qg2 Re8 35. h5 g5 36. c3??
 
A crazy move in time trouble, I saw that any knight move loses immediately, but the black knight can stay right where it is! [36. Qb7 White has a decisive advantage 36... Kh8 (36... Re7 37. Qc8 Re3 38. Qg8 Kf6 39. Re1) (36... Qe7 37. Qa6) 37. Qa7]
 
36... bc3 37. bc3 Rb8
 
[37... Qb6!? 38. Qb2 (38. Ka1? Re2!) 38... Rb8 39. Bb3 unclear position]
 
38. Ka1 g4
 
[38... Qg3 39. Qd2]
 
39. Rd1?
 
[39. Rb1! White has a moderate advantage]
 
39... Qg3
 
an unexpected blow, fortunately White has a saving move available. [39... Be3! was very dangerous  40. Rge1 Qg3!]
 
40. Bd3 Qe5 41. Rb1! Rb1
 
[41... Rd8!? 42. Bc4 Be3 43. Rgd1]
 
42. Kb1 Ne6 43. Qb7

43... Kf6 44. Qh7
 
[44. Rf1 Nf4]
 
44... Qb8!
 
again an unexpected resource!
 
45. Kc2
 
[45. Ka1?? Bd2! Black has a decisive advantage]
 
45... Qh2 46. Kb3 c4!
 
[46... Qg1? 47. Qh6 when the passed pawn on h5 becomes inmediately da]
