In the following game against the problemist A. B Thynne, Blackburne missed a strong continuation on move 12. Can you find it?

Are we taking on d6 here and then following up (in some lines) with e5?

Yes, Bxd6 and e5 is crushing.

Nice find. 13 Qg5+ after most Black 12th moves but 13 e5 in reply to Qxd6, yes
