  Honza Cervenka: 13.f3 would have been somewhat better defence, although 13...Nfg4! keeps black's advantage (13...Bh3 14.Qf2=) after 14.Qd5+ (14.Bf4 Bh4+ 15.Bg3 Nxh2!! ) 14...Nf7 15.Qb5 Bh4+ 16.Kd1 Bd7! 17.Qe2 Nf2+

12.Qe2 dxc3 13.Qc4+ doesn't save white for 13...d5! 14.Qxc8+ Kf7 15.Qxh8 Qxe4+ 16.Kd1 Qd4+ 17.Ke1 cxb2

Dec-27-05  syracrophy: The move 6.Bxf7+?! it's a dubious move
because white its giving two pieces for a rook, and its insufficient. Also, black has time to counterattack white king, as it happened on this game.

After 12...Ne5, there are no satisfactory defense for White:

-13.Qd3 Nf3+ 14.Kd1 (or Ke2) Bh3!

-13.Qe1 Nf3+ 14.Ke2 Bg5

  Honza Cervenka: 6.Bxf7+ can work if black tries to keep material via 6...Kxf7 7.Ng5+ Kg6. I have won a few games after 8.f4! exf4 9.Ne2! Kxg5 10.Nxf4 Qe8 11.Qd3! with deadly attack of white. But 7...Kg8! spoils the fun for white.
