GM Bisguier's Commentary

White plays for the idea of Qe4 again (see note to White's 11th move). An interesting attacking possibility is 15. Neg5 trying to force a Black kingside pawn weakeness. If Black avoids the weakening by 15. ... Nf6, then 16. Ne5 seems to good attacking chances (For example 16. ... Nxd4 17. Qe3 with the idea of Qh3).
