4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+ Kf8 8.Qxc5+ d6 9.Qe3 Nf6
The game has reached a routine position that has been seen many times before. White has some standard moves and ideas at his fingertips. Black is objectively better, but he has to assemble a plan.
10.d3 Be6
This move is okay, but it calls out White's f-pawn.
11.f4 Bf7 12.O-O Qe7
Likewise, this move is a siren call to White's Knight.
13.Nc3 c6
14.Bd2 Re8
With his pieces massed in the center, Black believes that chasing after the a-pawn would be a distraction; yet, his opponent decides to grab it.
15.Qxa7 b5
This loosens the Queenside a bit. Komodo 10 recommended the routine 15...Kg8 16.Rae1 h6 17.b3 Kh7 with a balanced game.
16.Qb6 Qd7 17.f5 Ne7
18.Bf4 Nh5 19.Bg5 h6 20.Bd2 Nf6
Back to where things were. Black can still consider "castling" his King to h7.
21.a4
Switching the focus to the Queenside. Getting the Rook into the game would allow greater pressure on Black.
21...bxa4 22.Rxa4
22...g6
This is a slip, forgetting about the dangers of the f-file.
23.fxg6 Black resigned
White will win material, and he will have an attack on the enemy King.
