Pulling the knight back to e8 is commonly seen in analogous
positions in the Pirc/Austrian system. The idea is to play an early e5. White's h4 is a thematic
response.
It is a good way to attack the fianchettoed bishop position, but Black often gets counterplay in the
center.

10... Nd6
Necessary is 10...g5 instead. Then Black stands well after 11.h6 Bh8 12.Bg3 e5
13.dxe5 fxe5 . She has counterplay in the center, and it is difficult for White to break into Black's
castled position. |

12.Nc5
White invites the capture on c5. But
best is 12.Bxd6 12...exd6 13.Nf4 fixing the pawn structure |

13... Ne4?
Lets White's bishops assume dominating positions.
Black should play 13...Nf7 with the idea of getting counterplay in the center with ...e5.
Peter now takes over the game.

Offering the rook on f8 for the well-placed bishop.
But she may have done better to hold on with 16...Re8 17.Qg4 Kf7 18.0-0-0 f5 followed by ...Qf6.

17.Bxf8
[If White plays to keep the Bd6 with 17.c3 (prevents ...Bxb2) Re8 18.g4 ,
Black may get counterplay with 18...b5]
17...Qxf8 18.c3 Qe7 [18...Qxc5 19.Qd8+ Qf8 20.0-0-0]
19.Qd2 [or 19.g4 with the idea fxg6, Qh5]

20...Qxc5
Black is desperate for counterplay.
If instead
20...Rd8, White plays 21.Qd6 Kf7 22.Qc7
|
21.Qxd7 Qxc4 22.Qxb7 Qxa2 23.Qxa8+ Kf7 24.Qb7+

25.Kc2
White makes sure to avoid perpetual check. But he
can ignore Black's checks and immediately play 25.Rh7 Bf8
(25...Qa1+ 26.Kd2)
26.Qf7+ Kg5 27.Qxf8 Qa1+ 28.Kc2 Qa4+ 29.Kd2
|
25...Qc4 26.Rh7 Qa4+ 27.Qb3 [or 27.Kd2] 27...Qa6 28.c4 1-0
Black has no remaining prospects.
|
|
Post Mortem: Black apparently did not anticipate h4 (Peter says she started to turn colors after this move).
Then she failed to keep the h file from being opened. Finally, 13...Ne4 was a serious strategic error that
let White activate his bishops. The thematic 13...Nf7 followed by ...e5 (meeting an attack on the flank with a counteratttack in the center) was the proper
course for Black. Peter played aggressively to take advantage of Black's failure to properly cope with the problems of the opening.
