14.Qg2
?! 14.b3 is weakening but best according to Mr Fritz
14...Rxc3
! Mr Fritz likes this and thought 14...b4! was also strong, but Kasparov favoured playing this exchange sac in rapid
15.bxc3
Na4
! The standard follow up move to the exchange sac
16.Bd2
16.Nb3 may be better
16...d5
! The dark squared Bishop comes to life
17.Re1
?! 17.Kb1 is safer
17...Qc7
17...dxe4 may be better to prevent the "e" file from opening, but nevertheless the exchange sac has worked and White is under all sorts of pressure
18.g6
? Desperation - White must create a counter attack, and I had considered the safer 18.Re3! which stops the Black attack in its tracks
18...hxg6
? The natural move but it is wrong to allow the exchange of his last Rook, whilst after 18...Nxc3 the Black initiative may be unstoppable
19.hxg6
Rxh1
20.gxf7+
! An in-between move (Zwischenzug) to rip open the King position
20...Kxf7
? The normal move but exposing the King, safer was 20...Nxf7
21.Qxh1
Nxc3
22.Qh5+
Or 22.Kb2 Qd6 first, then 23.Qh5+
22...g6
22...Ng6 was necessary, now the tide turns
23.Qh7+
Ke8
! A big fat juicy trap offering the Queen as bait 24.Qxc7?? Ba3 Mate, a lesser player would have fallen for it
24.Qg8
! Consistent in my plan to prevent the Bishop from entering the game and counter attacking on e6, this game is not for the faint-hearted
24...Bc8
? A natural move that loses, necessary was 24...Qc5 25.Qxe6+ Be7 26.Be3 Qd6 27.Qxd6 Bxd6
25.Nxe6
! Wins, as Black has too many pieces hanging and the King is stuck on the "e" file
