Re8 9. Bb2 {So far the game has followed a standard opening and the position
has been reached over 200 times. It's hard to believe White will win Black's
queen 5 moves later!} dxc4 $6 {Although the 4th most popular move out of 22 (!)
, this seems to help White's development and grip in the centre.} 10. Nxc4 Nb6
11. Nce5 $1 {Keith rightly declines the exchange of knights as he has more
space.} Nfd7 $2 {Black is completely oblivious with his last 2 moves that he
is depriving his queen of escape squares!} 12. Nxf7 $1 {A bolt from the blue!}
Kxf7 $2 {Black is lost but this move accelerates it.} (12... Qc7 {looks
horrible but at least Black can try and play on.}) 13. Ng5+ Kg8 (13... Kf6 {
