16 ... g6?!

It’s probably better not to weaken the kingside. In H.Wirthensohn-H.Eis, German League 1993, Black played 16 ... Re8, when 17 Bg5 g6 18 Qh3 Ne4 19 Bxe7 Qxe7 gave him an excellent game. Maybe White can improve with 17 Bf4, avoiding exchanges.

17 Qc2 Qc7 18 d5 Bd6?

Black really shouldn’t allow the white knight to come to c6 as it does in the game. 18 ... Bc5 was stronger, so as to meet 19 Nd4 with 19 ... Bxd4 20 Rxd4 Qc5. I would still prefer White, but Black is fighting at least.

19 Nd4 Ne5 20 Nc6 Nxc6?
