Nbd2 O-O 9. Be2 d5 10. O-O Nc6 11. a3 Bd6 12. Bxd6 Qxd6 13. Qc2 {This move
seems a little fishy to me. The queen is now on a square where it can be
potentially kicked away by a rook on c8. Rc1 is a better move to me because we
know that the rook wants to go to c1, but we need to see how black reacts
before making a decision on the queen placement.} (13. Rc1) 13... Rac8 14. Rac1

from black.} (14. Qb3) 14... Nxd4 $1 15. Qd3 Nxe2+ 16. Qxe2 Rc7 17. Qd3 (17.

trying to get some play on the queenside.}) 17... Rfc8 18. Nb3 Ne4 19. Rxc7
