Nice, in my own book there's the line Nf6-h5  20. Bh6-e3  f7-f5  21. g2-g4
Nh5-f6  22. g4xf5+  e6xf5  23. Qf3-g2+  Nf6-g4  24. f2-f3  b7-b5  25. Bb3-c2
Kg6-f6  26. Be3-d4+  Rd8xd4  27. c3xd4
If I remember correctly, this line is recommended in the NCO.

Because he's tactically very weak, "Wilhelm" cannot find Nh5 without book but it
avoids Nd5 early and goes for e5
