📕 24...Be5!
A strong exchange sacrifice. it is at least partly the degree of white's commitment to attack, and the concomitant structural neglect of the queenside ( don't overlook black's glorious knight on c5 ) which helps to justify this. Also do not underestimate the importance of the role of the queen on e7 in denying white's queen access to h4.
24...Qd7 and 24...Qc7 allows 25.Bxg7 Kxg7 26.Qh4 with the idea of 27.Rh3 with a huge attack.

📘 20...c5!
Black with sacrificing a pawn, shuts white bishop out of the game. Then he can obtain the initiative by playing on the b-file.
