White missed a glorious chance to wrap this up with a Queen sacrifice..

Gerald Abrahams looks at this position in his book: 'Not Only Chess.' where the coming Queen sac was played in another game, saying if it was missed (as it is here) then it is one of the many instances where a good player misses short-range cleverness because their "....mind is moving on paths for pedestrians."

11.b4!

And if 11...cxb4 the Queen sacrifice works 12.Qxh7+ Kxh7 13.hxg5+ Kg6/g8 14.Ne7 mate.
