16. ... h6? A weak and weakening move that gives White an imposing advantage. Black’s best seems to be 16. ... f5 17. exf6 exf6 18. Bb2 Kf7 so as to oppose Rooks on the open e-file.
17. Bb2 Nd4 18. Bxd4 cxd4

19. e6! Bf6. If 19. ... fxe6 then 20. Nh4! followed by Re1-e4, Qd1-e2 and Ra1-e1 and White will soon regain her Pawn with consequences similar to those of the game.
20. exf7 Kxf7 21. Re4 Rd6 22. Qe2 Re6. A bad move, but maybe there were no good ones.
23. Re1 Rxe4 24. dxe4 Qb5

25. e5 Qxe2 26. Rxe2 Bg7 27. Nxd4. The d4-Pawn has fallen, but much worse things await Black.
27. ... c5 28. e6+ Kf6 29. Nc6 Rc8 30. Nxa7 Ra8 31. Nb5 Rxa2 32. Nc7 Ra1+ 33. Kh2 Kf5

34. g4+ Kf4. If 34. ... Kf6 then 35. f4 g5 36. f5 with unavoidable mate on d5 or e8.
35. Kg2 Rd1 36. c4 Rd3 37. Nd5+ Kg5 38. Nxe7 b5 39. f4+! 1–0.
