Although this move has been played before (with success), it does give Back
too much easy play and White's pieces soon become targets.} Qxf6 15. Bd2 $2 {
In view of Black's next move this looks like a mistake.} d5 16. Qe2 {Black is
already well on top. Michael now increases the pressure and his pieces simply
flow majestically into the heart of White's position. Compare the above
position to the final position some 12 moves later.} (16. cxd5 Bf5 {wins the
bishop on d3 e.g.} 17. Qe3 (17. Qf3 Qd4+) 17... Rae8 18. Qg3 Qd4+) 16... Ba6
17. Rae1 (17. cxd5 {again allows} Qd4+ {winning the d3 bishop}) (17. b3 Rae8 {
is winning}) 17... Bxc4 18. Bxc4 Nxc4 19. Bc1 a5 20. Qc2 $6 {White embarks on
a faulty plan speeding up his demise} (20. Qe6+ {to trade queens would have
lasted longer}) 20... Rae8 21. Qa4 {Abandon ship! Michael now ends the game in
a clinical manner.} Qd4+ 22. Kh1 Rxe1 23. Rxe1 Qf2 24. Rg1 Bd4 25. Rd1 Re8 26.

Qg1+ 28. Kg3 Ne3 {A fitting end to these Championships!} 0-1
