Simon v Charles

Simon interestingly played Bh4 which allowed (invited?) his bishop to be trapped by g5. This is what happened and white got compensation with knight on f6 being pinned and the black squares being weakened. If Simon had seen the idea of Qc1 and bringing queen to g5 winning material back the game may have finished differently!
