Wow, that was brilliant! This conceptual approach of playing Qb5-d3 in order to get the queen to h3 after h4 has been played, where it supports g4 and h5 is already something special. But then to understand that it is possible to play Ndxc4 allowing b-file pressure after ...bxc4 because we have the plan Re2 followed by Rf1! and Bc1! killing any and all counterplay thereby leaving us with a free attack is absolutely masterful - amazing stuff!
As this is a reversed QGD Exchange Variation, and W lost at least a tempo with h3-h4 and Qb3-b5-d3, are there corresponding lessons for _Black_ in the QGDEV, where B's kingside play is recommended against W's Minority Attack? It's really strange here that W was looking for a _waiting_ move around move 10 or 11... Can B therefore even play ...Qb6 in the QGDEV?
Going through the entire game and tactical complications is somewhat irrelevant for the declared topic of studying the pawn structure. Also Qb5->Qd3 "amazing plan", the point of the lecture, is nothing special at all.

Does anyone have a PGN of this game?
