11. Bxf6!? is worthy of consideration 11... Nxf6 12. a3=
11... Bb7=/+ 12. Qg3 dxe5 13. fxe5 Nh5 13... >= Qxe5!? 14. Bf4 Qh5=/+ 15. Be2 Qg6 and Black is fine
14. Qg4+/= Bxg5 15. Nxe6! Also possible is 15. Qxh5 Qxe5 16. Bxb5 axb5= 17. Rhe1 Be3 18. Qxe5 Nxe5 19. Rxe3=
15... fxe6 16. Qxh5+ g6 17. Qxg5 stopping 0-0-0
17... b4?? 17... >= O-O was necessary 18. Qe7 Rf7 19. Qxe6 Qxe5 20. Qxe5 Nxe5 gives Black good practical chances
18. Bb5!!+- the best move of the game, putting Black in serious difficulties
18... bxc3 18... axb5 19. Nxb5 was not a realistic choice
19. Bxd7+ Qxd7 20. Rxd7 Kxd7 21. Qf6 21. Rd1+!? Bd5 22. Qg4! Ke7 23. bxc3 Rac8 24. Qb4+ Kf7 25. Rf1+ is crushing
21... Bd5 22. Qf7+ Kc6 23. Qe7 Rad8 24. b4 24. Qa3 makes it even easier for White 24... Kb6+-
24... Rc8? 24... Rd7 25. Qc5+ Kb7+-

31... Bxe6? 32. Qxa6+ Rb7 33. Qxe6+ Kb8 34. Qd6+ Ka7
32. Rf6 Rd8 33. Rd6 Rf8 34. Rf6 Rd8 35. Rd6 Twofold repetition
35... Rf8 36. Rd1 Re8 37. Qd4 37. Qe3 seems even better 37... Kb8+-
37... Be6 38. Rd3 Bf5 39. Rxc3 Rxc3 40. Qxc3+ Kb7 41. Kb2 >= 41. Qd4!? and White can already relax 41... Re6 42. Qd7+ Ka8 43. Qc8+ Ka7+-
41... Re6 41... Rc8 the last chance for counterplay 42. Qf3+ Kb8+-
42. Qd4 g5 43. c4 >= 43. Qd7+ might be the shorter path 43... Ka8+- 44. Qf7 and Black could resign
43... Rh6 43... Kc8 does not win a prize 44. Qc5+ Kd7 45. b5+-
44. Qd2 >= 44. Qd5+ makes it even easier 44... Kc7 45. e6 Rxh2+ 46. Ka1 Bxe6 47. Qe5+
44... Rh4 45. Qxg5 again >= 45. Qd5+ makes for a quicker finish but again both players were in serious time trouble at the very end of the second time control 45... Kc8 46. e6 Bxe6 47. Qxe6+ Kc7+-
45... Rxh2+ 46. Kc3 Rc2+ 47. Kd4 Bd7 48. Qe7 Kc8 49. Kc5 A highly enjoyable game (for the spectators!) played with courage and exemplary use of the clock.
