Qe2 { So far Black is doing fine, but Ellen soon grabs the initiative. } 12... Nc6 (12... Nd7 { The knight usually belongs on d7 in these structures to keep the c-file open for Black's heavy pieces - and to avoid any d5-push from White. }) 13. h4 (13. d5!?) 13... Na5 14. Be3 Rac8 15. e5 { Interesting, but very committal stuff - now there is no return for White because Black's bishop on b7 is now free and clear on the long diagonal. Ellen, on the other hand, is eying the Black king. } 15... f5 { Black cracks under pressure. } (15...
