15. Be4

But here my white-squared bishop controls both d5 and g2. |

15... f5 16. gxf5 exf5 17. Rxf5

Black does not manage to dislocate the Be4, he just looses a pawn. |

Seems better to me than Kxg2. |

18... Qh4 19. h3

Now white seems to have stopped the attack, at least for the moment. White is one pawn up (not that this seems very important to me here) and I feel that there might be a small window for a counter-attack. |

This move meets the immediate thread 20. Re5 winning the bishop, it develops the knight and prepares a queenside castle. A very good, though maybe obvious move. |

20. Ra3

What should I do now? Follow my old plan c4 - Nc3 - Qf3? a5 or d5? I feel that there must be some quiet move that gets white ready to attack, but I can't find a good plan. Finally I play Ra3 but I'm not very convinced of this move anyway. |

If 20. Ra3 might still have been useful, this second rook move really does not seem to improve my position. |

Of course. Now my rooks are awfully placed, they stick between black's defence with no lines to operate. I'm rather down to earth when I finally try this: |

23. Rg4

BEFORE going further, please try yourself to find out what could be the inconvenient of this move. |

23... Qxg4

I don't have to say much more, do I? But I'm sure you enjoyed it this time: Isn't it always a cheerful experience to watch other people's misfortunes? |
