It turns out to be unsound with perfect defense but definitely tough to meet over the board. Instead black can drop the bishop back with advantage} 12.Nd4? {white had to take the sacrifice, but this is a creative try to swap queens and defuse the attack} Bg4? {Maybe if I hadn't been trying to play lightning I would have played my original intention of 12...Qg5! but I had overlooked that white can force a queen exchange} 13.Bxg4+ Nexg4 14.Qf5+ Qxf5 15.Nxf5 Bh2+ {A finesse to leave whites king on a worse square} 16.Kh1 Bf4 17.Nf3 Nxf2+! 18.Kg1 {(BvR) (?) After 18.Rxf2, Rd1+;19.Ng1, Rxc1; 20.Rxc1, Bxc1; 21.Nxg7..white is only one pawn instead of two pawns down. Although his position is also difficult he still has a reason to fight for a draw} Bxc1 19.Raxc1 Nd3 20.Rc2 Ng4 21.Re2 g6 22.Ng3 f5 23.Ne1 Nc1 24.Rc2 {initially I had intended to meet this with 24...Rd1 25.Nf3 Rxf1+ 26.Kxf1 Ne3+ but then I realized that white can just play 26.Nxf1} Nd3 {I didn't really want to introduce any imbalances like R+P vs 2N when I knew that the rook engdgame 2 pawns to the good would be winning without too much difficulty} 25.Re2 Rd6 26.Nxd3 Rxd3 27.Nh1 Rhd8 28.Nf2 Nxf2 29.Rfxf2 Rd1+ 30.Kh2 R8d6 31.Re7 h5 32.Rfe2 R1d2 33.b3 Rxe2 34.Rxe2 Kd7 35.Kg3?
