The Dutch IM has chosen a wrong square for his king. Now his opponent can rescue himself by a tactical solution.
41. Kf1! would still allow White to keep his advantage.

An unexpected reply. Now Black's threats are ...Qxc4 and ...Nde2.

Fortunately, White finds the best defence to save the game.

17.Bg5!
A logical developing move. It had been the over the board choice of a player who five years later was to become one of the greatest World Champions ever. In view of the pin, Black is best advised to refrain from releasing the tension in the centre. The position becomes very complicated, requiring deep calculation on every step. The fact is that the moves dxe5 and exd5 and their symmetrical corresponding moves need to be taken into account on every step.
17...b4!N
Finally removing this pawn from the attacked square and sacrificing it in order to spoil White's structure.

13-year-old Turkish FM should have controlled the b5-square with retreating the knight to c7.

Puranik exploits the Black's last move and obtains a large advantage.

🔺In the game 15...fxe4?! was played and Black could not have realized his slight advantage.
The best continuation is 15...Bxc3! Now that the White's dark-squared is restricted, Black exchanges his bishop for the knight and wins the central e4-pawn. Then the knight on e4 can put pressure on the weaknesses in the enemy camp. 16.bxc3 Nxe4 17.Re3 (17.Bxe4 Rxe4 18.Rxe4 fxe4-/+) 17...b6 18.Qe1 Bb7-/+;
