Given Enough Time...

Given enough time, if Black uses moves to shuttle his pieces here, there, and everywhere, 
White's "Jerome pawns" can become dangerous and cause Black many headaches...

Instead, Black should be thinking about giving the piece back for two pawns, and taking advantage of his lead in development, for example: 16...Rf8 17.Nc3 Nxf5 18.gxf5 Rxf5 19.Rxf5 Bxf5 with an even game.

Black's game suddenly goes to pieces.

After the game Stockfish suggested 19...Bxg4 20.fxe7 Qd6 21.Qxd6 cxd6 which gives White only a small edge, if that. For example, 22.Bxh6!? Kxe7 23.Bg5+ Kd7 24.Nd2 Rag8
