Very nice! White won 10 moves later.

Right again! Not only because of the now half-open f-file, but also to be able to challenge White's centralized knight with ...Nf7.
19.b4 Nf7 20.Nxf7 Rxf7
With a favorable position for Black.

Black to move
Stopping White's a4-a5 once and for all (though at the moment . . . b6-b5 seems a suitable response), not minding the b5 -square and the now backward b6-pawn. Black has a clear follow-up in mind though.
21.Rdb1 Ne6 22.Qb5 Qc7 23.Qb2 Rfd8 24.Qc1 f5 25.Nd2 Nc5
A fine post for the knight, from where it aims at the blocked a4-pawn and also supports the central advance of the e-pawn. After some adventures, the game ended in a draw.

Concrete chess. What counts is - as always- what will remain on the board after this surprising exchange. After White's next it becomes clear that Black's weak pawn on b7 will be increasingly hard to defend.
29...Qxd7 30.Qb5 Nc6
30...Qxb5 31.Bxb5 Nc6 32.Ba4 Be7 33.Bxe7.
31.Bg3 Re7 32.Bh4 f6 33.c4
Of course, with a big positional plus for White Black remained under severe pressure, but Yilmaz was lucky enough to escape with a draw.
