11...exd5
This was the position I found myself in in the first round, and what a pleasant position to be in. Black has wasted time with the bishop deployment on c7 and the optimistic attempt at a Kingside flank attack. White has a fairly easy job of exposing the weakness of Blacks plans.

12.e4 dxe4 13.dxe4 Bg4 14.Qc2
Breaking the pin and keeping control over the e5 square while eyeing g6 for possible later tactics.

14...Bxf3 15.Nxf3 h4
Perhaps Black was hoping that White might take on H4 and Black would gain some dangerous activity, but instead White simply sidesteps this diversion on the flank and increases the pressure in the center.

16.Rcd1
[16.Nxh4 Rxh4 17.gxh4 Ng4 18.h3 Qxh4 Would still be good for White but why even allow Black the appearance of activity.]

16...hxg3 17.hxg3 Qe7 18.e5 Ng4 19.e6
And White crashes through for a quick demolition of the Black position.

19...Ndf6 20.exf7+ Qxf7 21.Rfe1+ Kf8 22.Ng5 Qh5 23.Ba3+
After kg8 Qc4 check is curtains. 1-0
