daveinsatiable: For the benefit of Infohunter et al., I'm going to explain Tim's subtlety.
Tim was referring to the fact that Van Gogh is only mispronounced Van Go in the US. On this side of the pond (and I believe, but could be wrong, most of the rest of the Anglphone world) we mispronounce

daveinsatiable: So, I looked at the tempting Ng5 for a while, saw that it didn't work and then spotted Rh3. This looks more promising, retaining the Bg5 threat and adding a new one.
19. Be3+ (buying time) or Bf2 looks forced and it looks like black has too many threats to meet.
Unsure of the

daveinsatiable: Hey <once>, it's good to have you back! Love reading your contributions. For the record I nailed the Kf7 variation, but chess blindness struck on the Kh8 variation, meaning that I would have been checkmated on a1 after Kh8, Qxf6+ Rxf6, Rxf6. I gleesfully figured that ...

17. Qxd6 Qxc3
18. e6 Bf6
Maybe 19. Rd/e1 Be7 (or 19. Rxf6 Qxf6 20. Rd/e1 Qe7

daveinsatiable: <scormus> "Couldnt quite figure out W's strategy from move 14 onward" I don't think he could either, I think that's the problem. You've got yourself a kind of interesting looking pawn setup, but nothing obvious to do with it, and I think white just loses his way casting

daveinsatiable: Ra1 jumped out at me straight away, I saw that Nb1 was the only defence, figured that Rxb1, Kxb1, Qxe4 left white a tempo to move the bishop on d7 to a safer spot and thus N+B for R up, hoped that was good enough (which it probably is - not for me against Crafty, but surely ...
