C77 Winning with the Wormald Attack

GM Lothar Schmid (b 1928 in Germany) is probably best known for being the chief arbiter in both Fischer-Spassky matches of 1972 and 1992. Here is a game he played at age 15 using the somewhat obscure Wormald Attack in the Ruy Lopez.

    GreenCastleBlock: 14...Qe8 15.Ne2 and White is 3 pieces up (15...gf6?? 16.Nf6+ and 17.Nxe8) just as in the end of your analysis, minus the fireworks. And White isn't just "significantly better", he's flat-out winning. It's good to see someone reading this stuff occasionally, thanks for the input!

    Very nice game!  Seems like if Black doesn't take the Bf6, 14.Nf5 is very powerful:
