Second game features a rather heavily theoretical line known to be part of the Noomen repertoire. I knew 15. Rf3 to have been topical a long time ago, but have never really studied it. 15. ..exf looks pretty efficient in response. Another long game where white simply got outplayed later.

Second game features a rather heavily theoretical line known to be part of the Noomen repertoire. I knew 15. Rf3 to have been topical a long time ago, but have never really studied it. 15. ..exf looks pretty efficient in response. Another long game where white simply got outplayed later.
