📘 14...Ne4?
A brave decision, although it turned out to be a mistake.

(17.Qf2! B×g2 18.Q×g2 Qf4+ 19.Kb1 K×e7 20.Nf5+! Kf6 21.Rhf1 +- and Black is helpless.).

(42.h6 The solid and logical continuation 43.h×g5 h×g5 = now if 44.Ne3? then, 44...Kg6! with the idea of Rh7+)

📘 19.Nd5+?
White has chosen a wrong move order. He could have won the game with 19.Rhe1! and then 20.Nd5+.
19.e×d5 20.Rhe1 Nd3+!
White had probably overlooked this move in his calculations.

📕 19...Bb3!
Rather than a debate over the center squares d5 and f5 in which black would always struggle, he carves out his own territory, 20.Rdc1 c4!. If 19...Bxd3 20.Qxd3 Rfd8 21.Qe2 with the idea of Ne3-d5.

📕 9.Qa4+!N
Interestingly, that this logical move is applied for the first time. 9...Qd7 10.Qc2! There is nothing difficult in the idea of the Black queen being misplaced on d7 - it is especially familiar from the related Queen's Indian Defence.
