11... Qxg2
BAM. In there like swimwear. No Kingside castle for you! Not yours!

 
12. Bf3
Uh oh. Not to worry. Exchanges will ensue. I can still castle, control the center and have great positional advantage.

 
12... Bxd2+
I like bishops but the center is still 'kinda' closed. I'll keep my knight. Open positions require bishops, closed positions require knights.

 
13. Kxd2
Only way to protect the bishop and rook still but leaves a weak f2.

 
13... Qxf2+
Ta Daaaa.

 
14. Qe2
lets take'em off.

 
14... Qxe2+ 15. Bxe2 O-O-O
Nice. I have achieved control of the center, protected king and an outpost for my Knight.

16. Rhf1
my weakest square but easy to protect.

 
16... Rh6 17. a3
Stopping the Knight but giving me more time.

 
17... Nd4
my knight loves it there and seeks the fork on b3.

 
18. Bd1
protects the square b3 but disconnects the rooks.

 
18... f5
Uses the Knight as protection,pushes my only passed pawn and opens up the 6th Rank. Every move should be Offenseive and Defensive.

 
19. Kc3
His king is closer to the center, breaks a future pin, and if e5 falls then he can take my knight. I would have worked my out of place rook into the game.

 
19... f6
Protecting e5 but cutting off my rook. My knight is permanent now though.

 
20. Bf3
Connects the rooks. Maybe a queenside pawn storm was better?

 
20... Ne6
Eyeballin the d3 square. With my excellent pawn position I would love to trade everything off soon.

 
21. Bd5
Oops. Missed that. There are many outposts though for me.

 
21... Nf4
Protecting the check on e6 and outposting my knight.

 
22. Rad1
Protecting a weak square. But this leads to.

 
22... Nxd5+
Take.
