Indeed, the position is actually pretty good, and Black even resigned here! Black has no decent way to prevent 18.♗xf7+ ♔xf7 19.♕b3+. For instance, 17… ♔h8 18.♕b1 or 17…♖f8 18.♕f5, and Black’s queen remains without good squares: 18…♕e8 19.♘g5 g6 20.♕h3 h5 21.♗d6, winning big material. So, 1- 0 it was, right away!
Black no longer has the possibility of …h7-h6, to drive this knight away. Now, White wants to follow up with ♕d1-g4-h4.
The somewhat awkward 13…♘e5 was better, preventing White’s plan, though White is still better after the persistent 14.f4 ♘5c6 15.♕g4.
Planning to follow up with ♗c1-h6, but other moves were equally good here.
12…♘fxd5 prevents the pin by ♗c1-g5, but allows 13.a3, and 12…♗xd5 13.♗g5 boils down to the same thing.
