I take the pawn back. Black is a pawn up, but white has loads of compensation with his better development, safer king and better pawn formation. |

This move deviates from the game mentioned above, but black's game is difficult. |

Played to free up up my queen for action, and also perhaps throwing in a check on d6 or maybe ganging up on f6 at some point. |

Attacking the knight. OK try and guess what I played? |

Did you find it? This is far better than Nd6+ which leads to me exchanging off my attacking knight. But now I am threatening Nd6 check, with a double attack on f7, which explains his next. |

Did you find it? My attack on f7 wins back a pawn. Notice the pin on the h file - this game is going to be full of pins! |

He develops his knight. Guess my next move? |

Did you find it? I thought this was a powerful half-pin on his knight. The threat is 19. Nh7 winning the knight. I though he had to move his king to e8, d7 or d6 but he finds another move. |

He protects. |

I take - it may be better to build up the tension rather than play this immediately, but it does lure his rook onto a dreadful square. |

He takes back. OK try and guess what I played again? |

The idea is to play e4, threatening e5 and, like before, there is a pin along the fifth rank, so that if he meets e3-e4 with f5xe4 then his queen goes. |
