White is overextending his center, and Black will be able to strike back easily.} Ne8 6.f4 d6 7.Be3 c5 {Black moves quickly to undermine White's center.} 8.dxc5 Nc6 9.cxd6 exd6 10.Ne4 Bf5 11.Ng3 {11.Nxd6 Nxd6 12.exd6 Bxb2 13.Nf3 Re8!} Be6 12.Nf3 Qc7 13.Qb1 {White's queenside ambitions are unrealistic, but it was time for the queen to leave the d-file anyway. The dual purpose is to support the advance of the f-pawn, but this has a tactical flaw.} dxe5 14.f5 e4 15.fxe6 exf3 16.gxf3 f5 {This is much stronger than grabbing the weak pawn at e6.
