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.

ٌWhite to move
By handing over the open file White manages to push his kingside pawns.
2...Nd5 3.Nxd5 cxd5 4.Qd2!
Provoking Black's next move so that a later f4-f5 is effected with tempo.
4...Ne6 5.f4 gxf4 6.gxf4 Qc6?
This lets White continue his plan, eventually leading to a strong attack. Correct was:
6...Qd4! 7.Qxd4 Nxd4 8.Rd1 Ne6 with just a slightly inferior endgame.
7.f5! Nc5
Or 7...d4+ 8.Kg1 , followed by Qg5, with similar play.
8.Qg5! Rd7 9.Rg1 f6 10.exf6 Ne4 11.f7+!
Deflecting the rook from the defence of the d5-pawn. The game concluded:
11...Rxf7 12.Qd8+ Kh7 13.Bxd5 Nf2+ 14.Kg2 Qf6 15.Qxf6 Rxf6 16.Kxf2 Rxf5+ 17.Bf3 Rf4 18.Rg4
Black resigned.
