In order to meet Qh4 by 6.Qg3.
5...Be6 6.Qe3 f6 7.Nc4 Qd5!

With the double idea of 11...Nd5 and Nf5-h4.

12...Nd5
White resigned in view of 13.Bxd5 Bxd5 with the double threat of 14...Rxe3 and 14...Rg6+.

1...Rcf8 2.g3 Bf5
Black sacrifices a pawn, aware that after 2...fxg3+ 3.Rxg3 he couldn't save it anyway; e.g. 3...Rh6 4.Bc4! Re8 5.Rcg1 Nf8 6.Nc5 with the inevitable threat of 7 Nxe6+.
3.gxf4 Rf7 4.c4 Kb8 5.d5!
A strong breakthrough that creates a passed pawn, as well as a protected square for the knight on d4.
5...cxd5 6.cxd5 Nb6
