If White had here played 11. B takes P instead of the text move, the
continuation might probably have been--
11. B takes P 11. R to K Kt sq.
12. B to B 6 12. Kt takes B
13. Q to R 4: ch. 13. Q to Q 2
14. Q takes Kt 14. R takes P: ch.
15. K takes R 15. Q to Kt 5: ch.
16. K to R sq. 16. Q takes Kt: ch.
17. K to Kt sq. 17. B to R 6, and wins.
... 11. Castles
12. Kt to B 3 12. Kt to Kt 3
13. Kt to K 2 13. P to Q B 4
White concentrates his forces for an attack on the King's side, whilst
Black, being stronger on the Queen's side, must try to create a diversion
on that side.
14. Q to Q 2 14. P to B 3
15. K to R sq. ...
The King's move is necessary, else Black could play 15.... Kt to K 4; 16.
Kt takes Kt, B P takes Kt, and White could not reply 17. P to B 4 (an
essential move for the attack), because Black would then win a piece with
17.... P to B 5; discovering check, and attacking the Bishop at the same
time.
... 15. B to B 2
This Bishop being now comparatively useless at Kt 3, since the White King
has quitted the black diagonal, retires, in order to make room for the
advance of the pawns.
