Qa4+ Nfd7 (17 ... Ned7 18. Nxd6+ Qxd6 19. e5) 18. Nxe5 Bxe5 19. Bh3 Rd8 20. Bg5 f6 21. Rac1 Qd6 22. Bd2, etc., or 16 ... Bxe5 17. Bh3 preventing 17 ... O-O because of 18. Bxd7 Nxd7 19. Qxh5, and in either case Black's trouble is only beginning. 16. ... O-O 17.b4 g6 18.Ba3 Be7 19.Rac1 Qb8 20.Qb5 a6 21.Qa4 Kg7 22.Bb2 b5 22 ... Bd6 23. fxe5 Bxe5 24. Nxe5 Qxe5 25. b5 looks unhealthy for Black's king. 23.axb6 Nxb6 24.Qxa6 Nxc4 25.Rxc4 Rxc4 26.Qxc4 Rc8 27.Qb3 Bd6 28.fxe5 Bxe5 29.Bc1 ?! 29. Rc1 29. ... Rc3 30.Qb1 Qb5 31.Rd1 Nd7 ?! 31 ...

Kf5 60.Kd6 Kd8 61.Bd7 Bc7+ 62.Kc6 Ba5 63.b6 Be1 64.Bf5 Bg3 65.b7 ?? Tragic! (Or Comic; whatever.) 65. Kb7 followed by 66. Ka8 and 67. b7 reaps the fruit of White's patient labor. Black can go get the h3 pawn and make it look like a race, but it isn't even close. But after the text Black can draw in his sleep. 65. ...
