fancy looking pawn after ...c5, White was threatening c5 himself after which
things could soon become ugly for Black.} ({Morozevich had a vicious little

play} 18. c5 $1 {and win material. For example} Bxc5 (18... Be5 19. f4 Bd4+ 20.

fruit.}) 18. f4 Ne7 19. e5 $1 {With this strike, White soon goes from slightly
better to much better. For some reason the engine keeps suggesting lines with
Nxb6, but short of a certain material win, there is no way White is going to
voluntarily solve Black's bishop problem for him.} f5 20. exd6 cxd6 21. Be2 d5
