Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-18-19  patzer2: White exchanges the Queen for three minor pieces. But with MVL commanding the Black pieces in this Sicilian, it doesn't look like an even trade.
Jun-18-19  patzer2: Correction: White exchanges three minor pieces for the Queen.
Jun-18-19  patzer2: White's 12. Nd5!? is a fascinating move. According to Stockfish 10, it leads to equality after 12...exd5 13. Nc6! dxe4 = (0.00 @ 37 ply).

Black's reply 12...Qxd4!? is supposed to favor White after 13. Bxf6 ⩲ to ± (+0.62 @ 37 ply). But it obviously didn't work out well for White in this game.

Jun-19-19  patzer2: Instead of 20. Qc4 Bh6 =, White could have maintained an advantage with 20. Qd3 Bh6 21. g3 ± (+1.01 @ 31 ply, Stockfish 10).
