Excellently played by black. After 11...Bd6 white shiuld have played the active 12.Re3 but even so white could not afford to loose his e4 pawn. On move 7.c3 black already looks better black has more development and better placed pieces. Not the correct way to play the Ruy for white. But good game by black none the less, cheers.
a queen trade would certainly mellow things out. but why give up a good attack to just double some pawns
