Too hasty, since Black cannot prevent the infiltration
of the white rook anyway. First White
should play 1 g4!? or 1 e4 g6 (1...00 2 :!.'.d7+
@g6 3 lob5 f5 4 exf5+ @xf5 5 :!.'.xg7) 2 g4, in
each case with a very dangerous light-squared
initiative.

White stakes everything on his passed d-

The immediate 1.. ..i.xg2? would unnecessarily
allow 2 @d4.
