This allows White to get his pawn back, establish a disruptive pawn on d6 and
keep his development advantage. Black never recovers.} (7... Ng4 $11) (7...
dxe5 $11) 8. exd6 a6 (8... Nb6 9. Bb5+ $16) 9. Bf4 b5 (9... Nf6 {would have
kept Black in the game}) 10. Bb3 $18 (10. Nd5 {was even stronger but it is
hard to see far enough at blitz speeds to be sure it is correct and there was
no need to take any risk}) 10... Bb7 11. Qe2 Qa5 {trying for some activity but
this meets with a brutal refutation} 12. Bxe6 $1 fxe6 13. Qxe6+ Kd8 14. Bg5+ {
the rest plays itself - in fact White has multiple ways to win from here and
Martin picks a simple and effective sequence of moves.} Nf6 15. Bxf6+ gxf6 16.
