[ Interesting was: 10.a5!? ]
Now a Pawn break ... (probably the advance of ...c6-c5) ... was called for.
10...Nb6?!;
('?') 11.Bd3 Nbd5; 12.Bd2 Re8;
(Probably '?!' here.)
Now White tries to use his mobile Pawn center to gain a lot of space.
13.e4 Ne7;
14.e5 Nfd5; 15.c4 Nc7; (artificial)
Now a crucial position has been reached, White must decide on which way to go from here.
16.Bxh7+!,
(Maybe - '!!') ---->
Destroys / rips away the Pawn cover in front of the BK.
With Black's pieces bunched on Q-side, a quick decision on the K-side is not only logical, it is the best way to end the game.
[ The continuation of: RR
16.Ng5 Nf5; 17.Qh5,
"-->"
16...Kxh7;
17.Ng5+ Kg8[]; ("Box.")
[ Worse was: </= 17...Kg6?; 18.Qg4 f5!?; (Or, if Black plays: 18...Nf5 ; than simply 19.Nxe6+ , "+/-" wins for White. ) 19.exf6 gxf6!?; 20.Ne4+! Kf7; 21.Qh5+ Kg7; 22.Bh6+ Kh8; 23.Nxf6, "+/-" ]
18.Qh5 Ng6[];
(Forced.)
[ Worse was: </= 18...f6?;
19.exf6!, (Or 19.Qf7+ Kh8; 20.Ra3, +-)
19...Nf5; (hmmm) (Or 19...gxf6 ; 20.Qh7+ Kf8 ; 21.Qf7#.) 20.Qh7+ Kf8; 21.Qh8#. ]
19.Qh7+ Kf8;
20.Be3,
[ '!' or '?']
You might think I am very pleased with this game ... I am actually cross with myself for not finding a more energetic continuation,
[ White had two very brilliant winning lines here. They were: #1.) >/= 20.Ra3!! Qxd4!?; 21.Nxf7!!, "+-" Or #2.) >/= 20.Bb4+! Re7; 21.Ra3! Ke8; 22.Rf3! Qxd4; 23.Nxf7!, "+-" ]
20...Na6;
21.h4! Ke7; ('?')
[ The best plan was probably >/= 21...b7-b6; yet nothing will save Black here, viz:
At the end of the game, I had over 1.5 minutes left, while my opponent ran his time down to about 25 seconds ...
The analysis of this game may prove useful to players below the level of (say) 1600 FIDE.
