Using some minor tactics White manages to advance his kingside pawn majority.
1...b6
1...f6? 2.Qxa7+-
2.f4! c5 3.Qe4 Qc6 4.Bd3!
A clever tactical resource.
4...f5
4...Qxe4 5.Bxe4 Nc4 6.Kf2 Kf8 7.Bd5 Nd6 8.e4+/-
5.Qxc6 Nxc6 6.g4! fxg4?!
This converts the e-pawn into a strong passed pawn.
6...Ne7 would be better.
7.hxg4 g5 8.Be4! Nd8 9.f5
With the strong plan of Bd5 and e4-e5. The game continued:
9...Nf7 10.Bd5 Kf8 11.Bxf7! Kxf7 12.Kf2 g6 13.Kf3
Followed by e4-e5 and White won without difficulties.
