9.c4 Be7 10.Nc3 a6 11.e5?!
[ not the best as it should lose material 11.Bg5 keeps it about even. 11...0-0 12.b3 Rac8 13.Rac1 h611...dxe5
12.Nxe5?? [ This move should lose a piece. 12.Qh4 Rc8 13.b3 is damage limitation.] 12...Bc5

 13.Qf4 Bd6? [ Whilst not a blunder, Black should first have played. 13...Nxe5 14.Qxe5 Bxf2+!! 15.Kh1 ( 15.Kxf2?? Ng4+ ) 15...Qxe5 16.Rxe5Bd4 17.Re1 Rc8 ]

14.Nd5!!
Nothing else is any good. 14...exd5 15.Nxd7+ Kxd7 16.Qf5+ Kd8 17.Bg5 Be7 18.Rad1? [ White has lost the plot 18.cxd5!! Qd7 19.Qf3 Rc8 20.d6! Bxd6 21.Rac1 Be7 ( 21...Rxc1 22.Bxf6+ Kc7 23.Rxc1+ Kb8 24.Bxg7 ) 22.Rcd1 Bd6 23.Rxd6 Qxd6 24.Rd1 Rc6 25.Rxd6+Rxd6 26.h4 Kc8 27.h5 h6 28.Bxf6 gxf6 29.Qg4+ Kb8 30.Qg7 ]

18...Qd7 19.Qf3 Re8 20.Re3 Bd6 21.Bxf6+ gxf6 22.Qxf6+ Kc7 23.Red3?
[ White misses his last chance to stay in the game. 23.c5! Bxc5 24.Rc1 b6 25.b4Rxe3 26.fxe3 Qe6 27.Qf4+ Kb7 28.bxc5 Rc8 29.Qd4 Qe4 30.Rf1 Rxc5 31.Qxe4dxe4 32.Rxf7+ Rc7 ]

23...Re6 24.Qc3 dxc4 25.Qxc4+ Qc6 26.Qh4
[ 26.Qxc6+ is best but Black was over an hour behind on the clock, so keeping Queens on gives White better chances if Black slips up.]

26...Rae8 27.f3 Qb6+ 28.Kh1 Kb8 29.Rc1 Qxb2 30.Rdd1 Rg8 31.g4 Qe2 32.Rf1 Qxa2 33.Rf2 Qd5 34.Qxh7 Rxg4 35.Qh8+ Ka7 36.Qh3 Rd4 37.Rff1 Bf4 38.Rb1 Rh6
Black has a whole six minutes to win the game so White, with only just over an hour to defend, throws in the towel. 0-1
