Qd2 seams sensible.} 10. dxe5 $2 (10. Qd2 exd4 11. Nxd4 Nxd4 12. Bxd4 Re8 13. Rad1 {When white has a space advantage and black has yet to solve the problem of his QB.}) 10... Ndxe5 11. Nxe5 Nxe5 12. Qc1 Kh7 (12... Nxc4 13. Bxh6 Ne5 14. Bxg7 Kxg7 {white is better, more space, safer king}) 13. b3 Be6 14. Kh2 Qc8 15. f4 {This may be a bit premature. White should probably improve his Queens position first.} Nc6 16. Qd2 Ne7 $2 {Black now wastes significant amounts of time with his knight.} 17. Rad1 Nf5 18. Bf2 Ne7 19. e4 f5 20. Rfe1 Ng8 21. Nd5 fxe4 22. Rxe4 Bf5 23. Ree1 Rf7 24. Bd4 $2 {White removes a kingside defender and improves the Queens position however} (24. g4 Be6 25. Be4 {When g6 pawn will fall soon is probably stronger.I can only think that I didn't see any need to weaken the kingside further.}) 24... Bd7 25. Bxg7 Kxg7 26. Qd4+ Kh7 27. Rd2 c5 28. Qc3 Qf8 29.

Re2 {When white remains well coordinated and its hard to see the game lasting much longer.}) 33... Nh5 34. Rg4 Nf6 35. Rf4 Nh5 36. Rff2 Re8 37. Qd3 Rf6 38. Rde2 Rb8 39. Qe3 Ng7 40. Qe7 {Normally white shouldn't exchange queens as blacks king is more exposed, but this is probably the simplest way to proceed as white can win endgame with his kingside pawns.} b5 41. cxb5 Rxb5 42.
