π 20.Qe1!
Stronger than 20 Qe2. It is important to protect the c3 bishop as a preparation for the f2-f3 lever.
Bad is 20.Qc2 as now, f5 cannot be met with 21.f3? due to 21...Bxc5! dxc5 22.Qxc5+ Kh1 23.b4 and Black even wins because of the unfortunate position of White's queen.

π 17.Rxb7!!
A strong exchange sacrifice. The mighty knight on the d5-outpost and The poor position of Black's Knight at b7, completely compensate it.
