The Stonewall is known for spectacular kingside attacks, and in fact one is coming in this game!, but this, more modern treatment, allows black to compete effectively on the queenside as well, making the Stonewall a more dangerous opening than ever before) 14 Bf1 c5 15 Qb1 Ne4 16 Qa2 Ndf6 17 Rad1 Ng4! (Here black, having taken a strong queenside position, expands into a more traditional Kingside attack as well) 18 Re2 Qf7 19 h3 Ngf2 20 Rf2 Nf2 21 Kf2 dc 22 Bc4 Bg3!! (This sacrifice cannot be accepted, and it begins to break the walls down that guard the white king) 23 Ke2 cd 24 Bd4 b5! (Short on time, black embarks on a bold and agressive DOUBLE pawn sacrifice! This serves to lessen the pressure that white was building, and increase the pressure on white's own defenses around his king) 25 Bb5 e5! 26 Be5 Be5 27 Ne5 Qh5 28 Ndf3 f4 29 b4 Kh8 30 Bd7 Bf3 (Making time control, and allowing me to have the time I need to find the amazing resource on move 31, that ends the game quickly. Without this move, white may even be winning himself) 31 Nf3 Qg6!! (Curtains. White has no defense to the myriad of threats that black now poses) 32 Qd5 Rc2 33 Rd2 Qg2 34 Kd1 Rd2 35 Qd2 Qf3 36 Kc2 fe 0-1 (Notes by Newton)
