B18: Classical Caro-Kann: 4...Bf5 sidelines

a new move in this line, this seems to be logical since this move exerts some influence over the e5 square

10...0-0-0 11.a4 Bd6 12.b4 h6 13.Be3 Nb6 14.Qb3 Nfd5 15.b5?!

rather risky [19...f6 20.a5=/+ ]

28.Qxa6= Qc3??
the final mistake, but Black missed his chance to save the game [>=28...Bxg2+! leads to a repetition 29.Kxg2 Qg5+ 30.Kh1 Qh4+ 31.Kg1 Qg3+ 32.Kh1 Qh4+ 33.Kg2 Qg5+ 34.Kh3 Qe3+ 35.Kg2 Qg5+= ; 28...Qh3+? 29.Kg1 Qxg2+ 30.Rxg2 bxa6 31.Nxe4 and White is a piece ahead]

29.Rxb7+
[29.Rxb7+ Rxb7 30.Qxb7# ; 29.Nxe4?! is easily refuted 29...Qxb2 30.Qxe6 Rd8= ] 1-0
