As white, I played quickly to clamp black’s Ba8 with 4. d5 and 5. d5 which lead to a space advantage for white. 10. …c6! really confused me as I realized my position was very loose in the center. I decided to sacrifice a pawn for development and retained good play in the center. 14. …Ng4 was inaccurate and allowed white to regain the pawn on d5 with an initiative in the center. Based on the activity of white’s pieces, the attack crushed through with 19. Qxg6 – leading to a decisive win of material for white.
