1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 g6 4.c3 Nf6 5.Qe2 Bg7 6.d4 cxd4 7.cxd4 d5 8.e5 Nd7!?

9.e6?!
Simple development by 9.Nc3 or 9.0-0 is probably better.
9...fxe6 10.Qxe6? Nde5!
The white queen is trapped.
11.Nxe5??
Better, but still losing, is 11.Qxe5.
11...Bxe6 12.Nxc6 bxc6 13.Bxc6+ Bd7 14.Bxa8 Qxa8 (0-1, 27 moves).
