There is a lack of coordination among the white pieces. Exploiting this, Black creates an object of attack on the queenside:
19...a5! 20.Nd4
He should not allow Black to open lines for his rooks; instead, he should prefer 20.bxa5 bxa5 21.Nd4, with chances of equalising.
20...axb4 21.axb4 Qb7 22.Nd2
More active is 22.Nc3, after which Black’s advantage is minimal.
22...Ra3! 23.Bf2 b5
The pawn stands slightly more actively, taking c4 from the white knight, and opening a path to b6 for the bishop.
24.Nc2 Ra2 25.Nb3 Rc8 26.Ncd4 Bd8! 27.Rxc8 Bxc8 28.Rc1 Bd7 29.Kh1 Qa8 30.Bh4 Bb6 31.Qd1 31...Qa4 32.Be1 h6
It was useful to make luft.
33.Bc3?
Losing at once. He could resist further with 33.h3! Qa3 34.Bc3.
33...e5! 34.fxe5 Ng4 35.Be1 dxe5 36.Nf5 Bxf5 37.exf5 Rxg2 38.Rc8+ Kh7 39.d4 Rxh2+ 40.Kg1 Bxd4+
White resigned.

The knight jump into d3 is natural and strong – Black gets the two bishops and active piece play. But in view of the fact that White will have to part with his light-squared bishop, Black first provokes a weakness:
15...Bh4!+ 16.g3 Bf6 17.Rc1
If 17.bxc5 Bxa1 18.cxd6 Qxd6 19.Nxb7 Qe7 20.Nc5 Rb8 21.Nb3 Qf6 22.Kf2 Bc3 23.Qc2 0-0, White does not get full compensation for the exchange.
