11.Kh1 Nxe5 12.Qg3 d6 13.f4 Ng6 14.Nc3 Qh4
As White builds his attack, Black offers to exchange Queens, even at the cost of a piece, to settle things down: 15.Qxh4 Nxh5 16.f5 Kf7 17.Bg5 Nxf5 18.exf5 Re8.
15.Qd3 Kf7 16.Nd5 Re8 17.Qc4
17...Be6This pin looks effective, but it energizes White's next move. Black would have done better with 17...Kf8, even if his King was staying on the dangerous f-file.
18.f5 Bxd5
Unleashing the danger. There was still safety - and equality - in giving up the piece with 18...Kg8 19.fxe6 c6 20.Ne3 Ne5 21.Qb3 Qxe4
19.Qxd5+
The capture with check makes a difference.
