On 13...f5, White opens the position by means of 14.g4!.
14.Rhe1 Nbd7 15.Nxe4 Nxe4 16.Rxe4 Nf6 17.Rf4
There is no defence against the threat of advancing the h- and g-pawns.

Here, Black missed a chance to exploit the white back-rank weakness and the overload of the white queen:
27...Rxc4!
The actual game continued 27...Qf6 28.Bxd3, with a double-edged struggle.
27...Rxc4! 28.Qb1 Qf6
With a winning position.

The white queen not only attacks f6, but also ‘eyes up’ the Ra8. The rook on f8 defends both of these, and cannot cope with the task:
24.Nxf6+! Rxf6
Or 24...Qxf6 25.Qxf6 Rxf6 26.Bxe5.
25.Rxe6
Winning.

The queen at c5 fulfils many functions, defending the Be3 via the diagonal, the pawn d6, and the Ra7. First, White deflects the king, drawing it to a vulnerable position:
22.Nxf6! Kxf6
And now, he exploits the overloading of the queen:
23.Rxd6+ Ke7 24.Rxc6 Qxc6 25.Qxe3
