Kibitzer's Corner
May-11-18  Albanius: White really castled into it.
Barden says
"White resigned a little early, but 17 Bxb4 Nxb4 18 Nc1 0-0 (finally) 19 Rd2 Bd7 20 f5 c3! is a black avalanche." https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...

The alternative
14..b3!? is attractive, intending
15 a3 Bxa3 16 bxa3 Qxa3+ and a quick mate,
but after 15 Nc1, W holds out longer than the game continuation, though B is still winning, according to stockfish.
