Black avoids the knight fork that was coming next. |

More pressure on the king |
|

10... Kb6

Black moves the king to a somewhat secure location, in the sense that it avoids an immediate check on the next move, in the hope of allowing further development |
|
| |
|
|
11. Nc3
|
Knight moves out to a position where more pressure can be applied. Considering 12. Na4 |

Black starts to create some retreating space for the king whilst removing b4 as an attacking location for white |
|
| |
|
|
12. Na4+
|
Ignoring the free pawn on e4 white chooses Na4 - more pressure on the king |
|
| |
|
|
12... Ka7
|
Retreat to a7 by black in the hope of making some more space when the knight is freed. |

Black frees the knight with the loss of a Queen. Once can't help but feel that this is the turning point |

The Black Queen has been taken, with the sacrifice of a Knight. Material has swung the other way |

The inevitable loss of the knight. |

Taking back a pawn to avoid further advancement. Unfortunately allowing Black some much needed time to consolidate position and prepare for a counter. |
