Bogo-Indian Defence, Monticelli Trap

In this article I introduce you to a trick against the Bogo-Indian Defence. In the variation below it is still apparently possible for Black to draw after 10. ... Ne4! (but only if you have the skills and vision of Capablanca ...)

Here are some good opening variations for the Bogo-Indian Defence: http://chessopeningbogo-indiandefense.blogspot.co.uk/
As usual - any comments welcome!!

    15. Rd1 c5
    16. e3 Nc2+
    17. Kd2 Qf5
    18. Qg2 Nb4
    19. e4 Qf6
    20. Kc1 Nxa2+
    21. Kb1 Nb4
    22. Rxd7 Nc6
    23. f4 e5
    24. Rhd1 Nd4
    25. Rxa7 exf4
    26. gxf4 Qxf4
    27. Re1 Nf3
    28. Re2 Nd4
    29. Re1 (½-½)

    Not many players could get the draw after going the exchange down.
