White...Bd3 -- Develops A peice (albeit to a passive square), protects the pawn, and will allow Rac1 next move. (a pin at g5 is pointless)
Black...Nbd5 --- The only merit I can see In Nb6 is to wheel it round to d5, seeing as this move is obvoius I don't know why a commital move (like h6) would be played first.
[[I think: - Nbd5 Rac1 Nxd3 fxd3 is favourable for white]]
White must make use of his activity and should attack on the kingside. Black plans to play Nbd5 for a blockade and hopes to trade pieces. But, I accidently saw the suggestion of Ng5 before posting so, I'm not gonna guess that. A move I would never play myself, is g4. I wonder if that's possible.. hmmmm... I think I'm going to guess for g4 just to be a little more original than the others =)
12. g4
and black resigns.. 😉

12.Be3 Nbd5 - 8 mins
I think Ng5 for white looks pretty pointless, after h6 black defends the g5 square with tempo. This is where a plan needs to be developed, I'm only saying Be3 because that develops and defends, and because I can't think of anything else useful! - looks like the best square for that bishop right now. ...Nbd5 sits the knight on a good post that is safe and can attack the bishop if it wants.
13 Ngf3 Nbd5
This looks like a retreat, but I think the idea has merit. For starters, the idea of 12. Ng5 was to provoke a pawn move, and it worked with 12...g6. By moving the Knight back to f3, it now protects the pawn on d4, which is anchoring the Knight on e5. Additionally, it opens the diagonal for the c1 Bishop to penetrate to h6, putting additional pressure on the dark squares around Black's King. This is a better use of the Bishop than making it a 'big pawn' on d3, I think. Black's move 13...Nbd5 looks like a sensible move to get more stuff in the Kingside theatre. Think time: about 15 minutes
