11.d4 Ng4 12.Qg3 Qf6
Black builds his pressure on f2. Perhaps he avoided the reasonable 12...Nxf2 because of 13.O-O!?
13.f3 h5
Bold! Daring White to open up his King by taking the piece. (The "objective" Stockfish 7 prefers the Knight retreat 13...Nh6.)
After White chases the enemy Queen away from her attack on the pawn at d4, he accepts the piece.
14.Nd5 Qf7 15.fxg4 Bxg4 16.Be3 Rc8
Both Kings will remain in the center, but White's will be safer, and the first player has an extra pawn.
17.Kd2 Qd7
This is a tactical oversight, as it un-protects his Knight, making his Bishop loathe to move.
Vlasta is quick to respond.
18.h3 h4 19.Qxg4 Qxg4 20.hxg4 c6 21.Nc3 b6
White is clearly better.
22.Raf1 Rc7 23.Rf5 Rh8 24.Rg5 Nf8 25.d5 c5 26.Nb5 Rd7 27.Bf4 Rh6 28.Rf5 Rf6 29.g5 Rxf5 30.exf5
30...g6
Allowing checkmate, but Black's position was untenable. White's material advantage is too great; Black's King is too vulnerable.
