relatively long time over this move. But really there was no need to be

win but I could not see this variation clearly over the board, though I did
look at it in part. There were a great many sacrificial lines and I didn't
want to allow some finesse that would lead me to disaster.}) 10... Bd6 11. exd5

though I had a clear material advantage. So many options!}) 11... c5 (11...

actual move was understandable in a way.}) 12. Bb5+ Kf8 13. O-O (13. Qxa7 {
might have been better but I didn't want to reveal my hand too early as I had
seen some interesting options with the rook, sacrificing the knight and even
sacrificing the queen. Style over matter!}) 13... Bxf3 14. Rfe1 {Take that!} f6

sequence, Black is hopelessly boxed in.} 15. Qb7 Kg8 16. Qc8+ Bf8)
