    This sets up a cheapo, now if Bxf6 Qxf6 to avoid opening the king then Re8 is mate as the d3 bishop covers h7. Positional players will say it seizes the e file.
    • 12... Nc6b4
      So black takes aim at the d3 bishop.
      • 13. Bc3xf6 Nb4xd3
        Removing the d3 bishop with check. White has to recapture.
        • 14. Qh3xd3 Qd8xf6
          Black takes the bishop with the Queen but has forgotten that White's Queen also covers h7. A few hours between moves can do this.
          • 15. Re1e8
            Black is a pawn up, attacks the pawns on f2 and g2 but his back rank is fatally weak. Checkmate!
