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.

Black to move
Covering the rook on d8 before moving the knight from d7, where it controls the crucial square c5.
2.a3 Nf6 3.b4
After 3.Rxd8 Rxd8 4.Rxd8 Kxd8! White doesn't achieve c4-c5 either, just like in the main line.
3...axb4 4.axb4 Rxd4 5.Rxd4 Kf8
Preparing ...Qe7 with some pressure on the b4-pawn. Black has no problems.
