Nd7? {Not a bad idea, but first it was necessary to take the Bishop on b3} 9.
dxe5! Nxb3 {More or less forced, as taking immediately on e5 would lose
material} 10. Bg5! {The crusher! The Black King now becomes very vulnerable}
10... f6 {what else?} 11. exf6 gxf6 12. e5! {Very forcing! White rips open
the center} 12... dxe5 {Taking the Rook on a1 loses to ef6ch and Qd5ch etc.
Probably a bit better was to take the Bishop, but it would also lose} 13.
Nxe5! {Black is dead!} 13... Nxe5 14. Rxe5+! {Not very difficult to calculate,
but bloody enough to attract the spectators } 14... Be7 15. Qh5+! Kd7 {Going
to f8 would lose to Bh6ch and Re3, threatening Rg3} 16. Bxf6! Nxa1 {Black
plays on for the crowd. A good alternative was to resign} 17. Bxe7 Qxe7 18.
Rxe7+ Kxe7 {Black loses material because of his exposed King position} 19.
Qc5+ Kf7 20. Qxc7+ {Black resigns. Going to the 3rd rank loses to Qc6ch and
going backward would allow Qd8ch and Qd4ch} 1-0
