Standard Chess #274: manykingsuper vs. IM Bartholomew (Sicilian Defense)

Against the Sicilian Defense, my opponent chooses a less popular but still challenging line with 5.Qxd4. After 11.Rfe1, I overlook that White's e-pawn is overprotected, but I judge the resulting pawn-down position optimistically, believing that White's crippled c-pawns and the possibility of doubling my rooks on the c-file gives me counterplay. Soon I must reckon with White's play in the center, however!
