11... Qb6
|
I found out afterwards that actually Bb7 instead of Qb6 is good for black. This is good for white now. |

|

|
12. Bxf6
|
So I take. |

|
|
|
12... Nxf6
|
He takes back. |

|

13. Qxf6
|
I take back, hitting the rook. |

Protecting my d pawn with my rook, and moving the king out of the center. I found out later that this position has been seen in this game. http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=14169707&mv=27&rnd=0.03949373448267579 |

White has no choice now, as Qh6?? and Qf4?? both lose the queen to Bg5. |

|
|
|
15. Qf3
|
So I run back here. |

|
|
|
15... Bb7

Threatening c6-c5 |

|
|
|
16. Ne4
|
In the aforementioned game white continued Qe2? instead of Ne4 with advantage to black. Ne4 is played to discourage c6-c5. In computer analysis afterwards, we found that black can still play c6-c5! and meet dxc5 with Qxc5! and if white takes the black queen, black can take the white queen. That is probably the best continuation for black. |

Played after a long think. |

|
|
|
17. Qe3
|
Again, played to prevent the freeing c6-c5. |

|

17... Qa5

Black hits the pawn on a2. |

If instead I had played Kb1, then black has got c6-c5, as my d pawn can't take on c5 as he can play Rd8xRd1+. So this is the only way to protect it. I was planning on meeting b5-b4 with Nc5. |

|
|
|
18... Rd7
|
He starts wasting time, leading to a massive advantage for me. b5-b4 was better. |
