14.Kb1!
Planning to drop the bishop back to c1, to cover b2 as well as keeping the bishop out of the clutches of a knight on c4. Again, though, was this necessary?
14...Nc4 15.Bc1 Qb6 16.Qh4?!
White can play 16.Qxb6 Rxb6 17.h4 but he didn't want to exchange queens. In this position White no longer has the plan of h4-h5, but he had in mind the idea of pushing the f-pawn and possibly playing Rd3-Rh3.
16...a5 17.f5
Giving away the e5-square, but this negative had to be weighed up against the positive threat of playing f6 and having this pawn as a thorn in Black's side.

In celebration of Pal Benko's 90th birthday, here is a pretty miniature by the grandmaster. 😍
