One More BDG from Theo Hommeles

In a recent post I mentioned that after 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.f3 exf3 5.Nxf3 Bg4 6.h3 Bh5 7.g4 Bg6 8.Ne5 e6 9.Qf3 c6 10.g5 Nd5 11.Bd3, Black’s best move is 11...Nd7, and promised a game in this line played by the subject of recent posts, FM Theo Hommeles. Here it is.

12...fxg6? This was not a time to violate the general principle of recapturing towards the center. Now play will turn on the weak, backward e-pawn.
