  Mateo: 20...Bh8? is a kind of positional resignation, since after 21.f6 the Bishop has no more value than a pawn. The critical variation was 20...Bxe5. Maybe Moro was afraid of 21.Rxe5 dxe5 22.f6 (threatening Qh6) h5 23.Qe3 (threatens Qh6)Kh7 24.Qxe5 with the threat Qxh5. It seems that White has a big compensation for the exchange.
