g5 P.} 12. Ne3 f5 {A very unusual middlegame. Both players are struggling with the lack of development, however Black's position looks more flexible.} 13. g4 $5 {[%csl Rc2,Rc8,Rd3, Re4,Rg4,Rh5]

practical point of view, this was the best move. Now White has many dangerous threats around the black K.} Nf6 $4 { The decisive mistake, probably in time trouble. After this Black loses
