  Ron: A game in the 'Moro style'--notice his sacrifice of the knight for two pawns staring with 17 Nxf7

  tamar: Somehow Morozevich manages to transform the well chartered Meran into a pirate attack on the high seas with his 13 Ng5 & 17 Nxf7 attack.

Korneev must have known something was coming after 16 f5, but 16...h6 seems overly provocative.
