Black declines a trade of pawns. 11. Bxf4 BxBf4 12. g3xBf4 is possible, but probably not in white's best interest. Not this early on anyway.
11. Qd1xh5
Adding to the king side assault and setting up for Ne7+. Which would lead to Kf8 NxRh8 KxNh8. Giving white a Rook for a Knight.
11... Nh6f7
Blocks Ne7+, however black is now in a tough position.
12. Qh5h7
Threatens QxRg8+ which the knight cannot defend. Black's only response would be Bf8 blocking the queens check. However, QxBf8++ is playable, as is Be7, QxBf8++.
12... Rg8h8
Black tries to push whites queen back or set up the trade QxRh8?? NxRh8. White has another option.
The Rook is lost in any case, but ...Rf8 might lose less material.
13. Ng6xh8
White's alternate option. Now if black takes white's knight he can take back yet again with his queen putting black's king into check.
13... Qa5xg5
Getting nearly equal material for the rook. Was a good move, I didn't see it until it was too late, but I wouldn't have played things differently anyway.
14. Qh7g8
White starts breathing down black's neck, he's trying to get a quick kill.
14... Bd6f8
Now white cannot play QxBf8, but white has other strong options.
15. Qg8xf7
Wins a knight. A quiet developmental move like 15. Nc3 I believe is playable here.
