Bxf4 12. exf4 Nf8 13. f5 { While White's decision to double the f-pawns, opening the e-file for her rook in the process, was typical, this restrictive move is more original. } 13... Bd7 14. Rfe1 b6 15. Ne5 c5 { Necessary: both Black's f8-knight and light-squared bishop are restricted by a lone pawn. Black needs more opportunities, pronto. } 16. Rad1 c4? (16... cxd4! 17. Nb5 Bxb5 18. Bxb5 N8d7 19. Nc6 Rxe1+ 20. Rxe1 Qf8 { This position looks tenuous, but in reality, Black has won a major victory in trading off several pieces from a cramped position. Additionally, even if she were to lose both d-pawns, White's doubled f-pawn would hardly be a clean extra pawn in the resulting endgames. }) 17. Be2 b5 18. Bf3 { White's position is much easier to play, and it is remarkable how difficult it is to find any moves for Black here. } 18... Qc8 (18...
