2.dxe5?!
A tempting recapture, but this just helps Black's plan.
Preferable was 2.Rxe5 Bd6 3.Re2, followed by Qf3, keeping the queens on the board.
2...Qc4! 3.Qxc4
3.Qb1 Bc5+ 4.Kg2 d4 with an initiative.
3...dxc4 4.Re2 b5 5.Be3 Rd3 6.Bxa7 Rxc3 7.Kg2 Rd3 8.Be3 b4
Black later converted his passed pawn into victory.

White to move
Preparing 2 Bxf5 and 3 Bd4 in order to exchange as many pieces as possible, considering the opponent's isolated pawn.
1...Bxe5 2.Bxf5! Bxf5
2...Qxf5 3.Nd4 Bxd4 4.Bxd4 White is also slightly better, thanks to his active bishop and Black's isolated pawn.
3.Bd4! Re8 4.Qe3 Kh7 5.Bxe5 Rxe5 6.Qf4! Re4 7.Qf3 Qe5 8.Nd4 Bg6 9.Qd1
Intending Qd2 and Rd1 in order to work on the d5-pawn, thanks to which White keeps a small but enduring advantage.
