Actually, as I see it, and I only had a couple of minutes to check on the game,
11...f4! is a great little move after which Black is much better.  van Doel
might have expected 11.fxe4+ which is inferior to 11...f4!  In my Mega base I
found a handful of games that this game followed up to move 7, when Fritz played
the correct 7...Ng4.  Others played either Be6, or h6, etc. Ng4 frees the f5 for
the pawn advance.  I am pretty sure that Black was simply outplayed. Congrats to
Frans.
