š 13.Qc2!
A likely pointer to a promising initiative - vacating the open files for the rooks to arrive with tempo. Already the bishop on d5 looks unhappy since it also cannot costlessly abandon its cover of e4. 13...Qb6 14.Rad1! Nb4 15.Qa4+ Bc6 16.Qb3 Nd5 17.Qc4!.

The idea is clear - of course Black should not allow this pawn to advance to a6. The question is where to stop it.
15...Rd8 16.c3 Nd5?! (correct is 16...a5!=) 17.a5 a6 18.Nb3+/- and then 19.Nc5.
