Instead, 2.Qd1 was correct, when 2...Ne7 3.Be6 Bf4 4.g3 Rf6! 5.Bh3 Bh6 6.Qa1 Nc6 yields Black a slight advantage – Nataf. The desired ...d6-d5 is just one move away.
2.Bxe4? also failed to d5.
2...Ne7! 3.Bb7 d5 4.Qd4 Qc7! 5.Ne5 Nf5 6.Qg4 Bh6 7.Nd3 Rxc3 8.Ba6 Qb6! 9.Re1 g6!
Avoiding any tricks with 10 Qxf5. Incapable of saving his bishop, White resigned.

White to move
Preparing to triple the major pieces on the d-file towards the weakness on d5.
1...Re7
1...Rc8 2.Rd2 Ne7 3.Rxc8 Qxc8 4.Rc2 Qa8 5.Bd6 with a clear advantage – Ftacnik.
2.Rd2 Rd7 3.Rc3! Rc8
3...Nxb4 4.Ne5! d4 5.Rb3! Nc6 6.Nxd7 Qxd7 7.exd4 Qd5 8.Qf3 +-
4.Rcd3 d4
4...Ne7 5.e4! Rc4 6.Ne5 +-
5.Nxd4 Nxd4 6.Rxd4 Rxd4 7.Rxd4
Thanks to his extra pawn White is clearly better.

Black to move
Preparing ...Rfa7 with an attack on the a3-pawn before White manages to defend it.
2.Kd2
The depressing 2.Nd2 Rfa7 3.Nb1 can be met by 3...e5! , opening the position for the bishops; e.g. 4.dxe5 Bxe5 with a huge advantage.
2...Rfa7 3.Kc2 Rxa3 4.Rxa3 Rxa3 5.Kb2 Ra7 6.Ra1 Rxa1 7.Kxa1 Bd7
Preparing ...Be8-g6. Black later converted his extra pawn.
