  wwall: Better may be 12...g5.

Perhaps 16...Qe8.

Not 17...Kd7??, then 18.Be6+

If 23...Bxa4, then 24.Rh6 Kd7 25.Be6+ Kc6 26.Rh8

Perhaps best is 24...Bc8.

Not 25...Kxe8, then 26.Rf8+ and 27.Rxa8.

  beatgiant: <wwall: Better may be 12...g5.> That might lead to 12...g5 13. Bxg5 fxg5 14. f6 Qf8 15. Qh5+ Kd8 16. Qxg5, which looks strong for White.

<Perhaps 16...Qe8.>
But then 16...Qe8 17. Qxg5+ Ne7 18. Nxe7 Qxe7 19. f6 Qf8 20. f7+ Kd7 21. Qf6 looks winning.

What's your opinion about the above, <wwall>?
