Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-19-22  Open Defence: 13.f3 was preferable to the game continuation and after 13...Nxc5 14.Nxc6 Nxa4 15.Nxd8 Rfxd8 16.e4 Be6

I wonder if 17.h4 is preferable to the computer suggested line of 17.g4 in the computer annotated score

Play could go

18...b6 19.Kf2 Nb2 20.Ra1 Nd3+ 21.Kg3 Nc5 22.Rad1 when Black is better but White could fight

Or perhaps in this continuation 20.Ra1 Rac8 21.Bd4 and there is no imminent collapse but White will not enjoy this position
