10...a5
[10...Ne4 11.Bb4 c5 12.dxc6 Qxc6 13.Nf3 f6 14.Qa3 Nf5 Morosewitsch recommends this, but I more liked to blockade the position against the two bishops with a5 and the idea Nc5.]

[12.Be2 Nc5 13.Qb2 f6 (13...Ng6?! 14.h4) 14.0-0 0-0;
12.Bc1 The most logical plan. An idea could be Ba3, Be2, 0-0, Nd2 and Nb3 what secures white some advantage. 12...Nc5 13.Qc3 f6 14.Be2 b5 An dynamic idea from Rybka. It seems that it is not good to open the position for the two bishops, but the in the center pladed Knights will be strong too.

I wanted to play Rae8-f5-f4 here, and I think, it was a good plan

I was surprised about this move [23.Ne6 Nxe6 24.dxe6 Qxe6 25.h5 fxg3 26.hxg6 gxf2+ 27.Bxf2 Qxg6+ 28.Kf1 This position I evaluated as promising for black
Three pawns and atack for teh piece, Qe4 could already win here

23.h5 fxg3 24.hxg6 (24.fxg3 Ne7 Because of Whites weak kingside I evaluated this better for black.) 24...gxf2+ 25.Bxf2 Qxg6 this variation I calculated as winning for Black;

[24.h5 gxf2+ (24...e4 Rybka I had enough time I should have analyzed the variations exactly. But I havent I played too fast. If I had looked especially to the position after 23.fg3: I could have seen h5 and perhaps the strong answer e4! The white queen is out of play. 25.hxg6 Qxg6-+) 25.Bxf2 h6 26.hxg6 (26.Ne6 What a pitty that I overlooked here Ne6 26...Nxe6 (26...Ne7 Rybka 27.Nxf8 (27.Nxc5 bxc5 28.e4 Rf4) 27...Rxf8 28.Rf1 e4 29.Rad1 Qe5 Offering the exchange with Ne7 is a very strong answer in this case. The bishop on f2 is dead and the kingside is too weak.

24...e4 25.Rd4
I am sorry that i had not looked enough for usefull candidatemoves of my opponent. Also if Rd4 si not strong I should have had a look on it before playing e4. [25.Nh3 Nd3 26.Nf4 Nge5-+]
