You can check a compilation of games of this opening in this study: https://lichess.org/study/1FyORlIU [%csl Gb2,Gd2,Gd3,Gf3] [%clk 0:02:55] } 7... Qe7 { [%clk 0:02:57] } 8. a3 { [%clk 0:02:51] } 8... O-O { [%clk 0:02:57] } ( 8... e5 $1 { Liberating his position, fighting for the control of the center. } ) 9. Ne5 { Obstructing e5. [%csl Ge5][%cal Gf3e5] [%clk 0:02:49] } 9... Bxe5 $2 { Gives away the center, forces his pieces into a passive position. [%clk 0:02:39] } 10. dxe5 { [%clk 0:02:49] } 10... Ne8 { The knight on e8 doesn't look too active, a knight on f6 is the natural defender of the short castle, it stops any Greek gifts that could destroy the safety of the king on g8.
It is a good time to use the system of the lights. Ask yourself the questions. What do you think? [%cal Yf6e8,Rf6h7] [%clk 0:02:31] } 11. f4 { Immediately consolidating the central control. Qh4 isn't too scary, as g3 keeps the position safe. [%cal Re7h4,Rh4e1,Gg2g3] [%clk 0:02:35] } 11... f6 { Fighting for the center. Black is pushing it, though. The b2 Bishop is x-raying his king. After the e5 pawn disappears, the diagonal will be vibrant, and the pair of bishops of the white pieces will become powerful. [%csl Re5][%cal Gb2h8] [%clk 0:02:28] } ( 11... Qh4+ 12. g3 Qh3 { A lonely queen won't create any danger in white's position. Black's pieces are passive in sad positions. [%csl Ra8,Rc8,Rd7,Re8,Rf8] } ) 12. Qh5 $1 { Seizing the initiative. Trying to force black to push the pawns in front of his king, weakening his structure.
In a position with active pieces, better pawn structure and better central control, it makes sense to look for trouble with O-O-O, castling towards the opposite side, launching an attack on the kingside. The imbalances favor white. But we can't go crazy, we have to build it. [%csl Gh7][%cal Ge1c1,Gh5h7,Gd3h7] [%clk 0:02:16] } 12... g6 { Weakened pawns. [%csl Rg6,Rf6,Re6] [%clk 0:02:26] } 13. Qh4 { [%clk 0:01:29] } 13... Qc5 { Black renounces to improve the position of his pieces, and decides to spend tempi with his queen, attacking a pawn that isn't particularly relevant on e3. [%csl Ra8,Rc8,Rd7,Re8,Rf8][%cal Gc5e3] [%clk 0:02:05] } 14. O-O-O { Letting the e3 pawn fall, but it is a bait. [%clk 0:01:17] } 14... Qxe3 { [%clk 0:01:54] } 15. Rde1 { [%clk 0:01:12] } 15... Qb6 { Black has recklessly denied activity to his pieces. White is now too active. Now it is too late. [%csl Gh4][%cal Rb2h8,Rd3h7,Ge1e8] [%clk 0:01:44] } 16. g4 $40 { Trying to open up black's king. [%csl Rb6,Ra8,Rc8,Re8,Rd7,Rf8] [%clk 0:00:54] } 16... fxe5 { [%clk 0:01:39] } 17. f5 { The e5 pawn doesn't matter that much, an exposed king on g8 will be decisive.

Bxe5 { White's king is safe. The Bishop on e5 is becoming a beast. The bishop on c8 is pretty sad. [%csl Ge5][%cal Ga1h8,Ge5b8,Ge5h2,Rc8e6,Rc8b7] [%clk 0:00:35] } 20... Ng7 { Trying to stop the convergence of the queen and the bishop. [%csl Gg8,Bh8][%cal Bh4h8,Be5h8] [%clk 0:00:36] } 21. Qh6 { [%cal Re5g7,Rh6g7] [%clk 0:00:29] } 21... Qc5+ { [%clk 0:00:27] } 22. Kb2 { [%clk 0:00:27] } 22... Qe7 { Bringing more people to the defense. [%csl Re7][%cal Rb6c5,Rc5e7] [%clk 0:00:25] } 23. Ref1 { Following the teachings of Paul Morphy, let's add as many attackers as we can. [%cal Gf1f8] [%clk 0:00:24] } 23... Bd7 { Now it is time for the last piece which is doing nothing to join in. We don't care about the free pawn on g6. [%csl Rg5][%cal Rd2f3,Rf3g5] [%clk 0:00:24] } 24. Nf3 { [%csl Gg5][%cal Gf3g5] [%clk 0:00:21] } 24... Rxf3 { [%clk 0:00:15] } 25. Rxf3 { Black is forced to lose material. [%clk 0:00:20] } 25... Rf8 { [%clk 0:00:08] } 26. Rhf1 { [%clk 0:00:19] } 26... Rxf3 { [%clk 0:00:05] } 27. Rxf3 { [%clk 0:00:19] } 27... c5 { [%clk 0:00:04] } 28. Rh3 { 1-0 White wins on time.
The threat is too strong, for example: [%cal Rh6h8] [%clk 0:00:16] } 28... a6 29. Qh8+ Kf7 30. Qxg7+ 1-0
