White has emerged with a mobile pawn majority on the queenside.
4...Rde8 5.c5! f5
Weakening the a2-g8 diagonal, but it was not easy to find a constructive plan.
6.d5! exd5 7.Nxd5 Bd8 8.Qd4 Be6 9.Ba4 Bf7 10.Bxe8 Rxe8 11.Nf6+ Bxf6 12.Qxf6
White later realized his material advantage.

This exchange sacrifice completely changes the logic of the position. Now the threat is 2 Bf4.
1...Bxd4 2.cxd4 Na6?!
This lets the white knight occupy the newly created post on e5.
2...Nd7 3.Bxh6 Re8 was preferable, when 4.Bd3 Nb6 5.Ne5 Nxd5 6.Be4 keeps a clear initiative.
3.Ne5! Rd8 4.Qd2! Qf8 5.Bc4
Now d5-d6 is inevitable.
5...Nc7 6.6.d6 Ne6 7.Ba3 Qg7 8.Re1! g5 9.Qd3 Qf6 10.Re3 Qg7 11.Rf3 f6 12.d7!
Black resigned.

Restricting the knight on h6.
1.e6? Nf5! 2.Qc2 g6 with counterplay for Black, whose knight has an excellent destiny on d4.
