A standard sacrifice in the Dutch Leningrad. The point is to open the long

unusual attack on the darksquares!!} 12... bxc6 13. e7 $3 {Diagram # Notice
how powerful White's moves are... just because each attacks the Queen. The

attacks three Black pieces!} 13... Qxe7 14. Bxd6 Qf6 15. Bxc5 {Diagram # The

Snatching the c6-Pawn would only expose White's pieces lined-up on the c-file.

Bd4.} 17... Qf7 {Keeping g7-Bishop and trying to get counterplay against the

threatens g5,f4 here.}) 20. Rab1 Nf6 21. Bd4 {Diagram # White is three Pawns

help, but not on Black's terms.)} ({An example of Black's plan after ...a6 is}

about this move, I realized that black is better developed, and better able to
take advantage of the potential opening of the board.} 11. h3 $2 {A mistake.

good idea.} (15... Bf6 16. Bc2) 16. dxc5 $4 {This was a move I thought Tony
should not have made. It gives up recapture with check (gain of tempo), and

Another good Tony move. If black takes the pawn, he then shifts his focus from
winning the center to getting out of pin trouble. White then mobilizes his
rook and dark-squared bishop. Not worth it for black.} 21... Bd4 $1 {This move 
actively offers to give up the e6 pawn with check. I calculated enough in
advance to realize that this was going to involve a tricky defense, but it
would open up lines on white's king too. After an exchange and check is dealt

bishop moves to g7 with a powerful diagonal.} 22. Nxd4 Qxd4 {Diagram #} 23.
