Black should now try to simplify by 8...Bg4.} Nd3+ {Losing more time. Black is at least three moves from castling and simply can't afford this, as he quickly learns.} 9.Bxd3 cxd3 10.Qxd3 a6 {The decisive waste of time. Black didn't want to let White check him on b5, but now he's down five active pieces to one.} 11.O-O e6 {It seems foolis h to invite White to open lines, but 11...g6 12.Bxf6 would also open the e-file.} 12.Rad1 exd5 13.Bxf6 Qxf6 14.Nxd5 {One more gain of time. Black has very few squares left as his queen must guard both c7 and d8.} Qd8 {Black resigns before White starts taking his pieces by 15.Qe3+ and 16.Nb6.
