White has been tricked. Yermo could not find a way to make 11 Nxc7 Ra7
work for him, as his knight would be trapped, so White has ended up losing
time and giving up a pawn for clearly insufficient compenasation. I think on
White's 10th move he should have played 10 Bf4, as then if 10 ... Nc6 piling
up on the e-pawn, 11 Nb5 looks like it could be played - 11 ... a6 12 Nxc7 Ra7
13 a4 and if 13 ... b6 then 14 Nxa6.
