7...Nf6 8.Bf4 0-0 9.Nbd2 Nh5!? 10.Be3 Qd6 11.Re1!?
This seems the best way of meeting Black's threat to win the bishop-pair.
11...Nf4 12.Bf1 a6

13...Nh5
After 13...Bxe5 14.dxe5 Qxe5 I was worried about 15.Qf3. However Stockfish16 and Komodo14.1 continue 15..g5. albeit giving a slight edge to White.
14.Ndf3 f6 15.Nxc6
The engines prefer 15.Nd3.
15...bxc6 16.b4!? Re8 17.Nd2!?
The c5 square beckons.

17...e5!?
Aggressive, and perfectly reasonable, if followed up correctly.
18.g4!? exd4 19.cxd4 Nf4??
This loses a piece, Correct is 19...Bxg4! 20.Qxg4 f5 with ...f4 and at least equality to come.
20.Bxf4 Rxe1 21.Bxd6 Rxd1 22.Rxd1 (1-0, 32 moves)
