Black misses a chance to exploit the Pg4, but White pays a higher price later! 8...Be7

14.Nf3 I guess this is a sacrifice to open up lines against the King. (But whose King?)

16...d5 This decision to open up the game is totally correct, as far as I can see.

[-2.75 Fritz 5.00: 19.Nxe4 exf4 20.d4 keeps more central control against the power of the two Bishops. 20...Bh3 21.Rfe1 Bg4 22.Ne5 f5 23.Nf2 Bc5]

White is losing horribly, but can try to minimise the damage. 24.Rab1

[-11.19 Fritz 5.00: 24.Rae1 Qc2 25.Qf3 f6 26.Ng3 fxe5 27.Rxe5 Bh3 28.Rxe7 Bxf1]

24...Qa3

[-3.25 Fritz 5.00: 24...Bxe4+ is a rather straightforward improvement: 25.Nf3 Bxb1 26.Qe1 Bd3 27.Rg1 Rfe8 28.Qe5 Qxe5 29.fxe5]

25.Rxb7 Oops.
