[18...f4!? was an idea tried unsuccessfully in an analogous game, Avrukh-Arakhamia, Lost Boys Open 2001, abeit without the c pawns exchanged.]

19.Bxg4 fxg4 #Put the Black King back on g8 and you will get the Frey-Dzjuba position after White's 19th move! 20.O-Oƒ White's pieces are optimally placed to invade Black's Queenside without hin compromising the Kingside. Qc7 21.Qb3 Bd7 22.Nb5 Bxb5 23.Qxb5 h5

[23...Bh6 24.Qb4]

24.Qb4 # Black's pieces are too tied down to defensive duties that his Kingside attack fails to materialise. Rad8 This move offers White to win the exchange based on the Bxa7-b6 threat. Ilya wants to go all out on the Kingside.
