  wwall: 13.Bxd5 looks OK.

Perhaps better is 13...Qd7, protecting knight and pawn.

Best seems 14.Bxd5, winning a pawn.

14...Kd2 would have been better.

Not 15.Qxf5??, then 15...Ne3+ wins the Queen.

Better may be 16.Kc1.

Black can also play 19...Qxe5

Or 20...Nd4 or 20...d4.

Stronger may be 21...Qf2.

Perhaps White could have played a few more moves after 21...Qe4. He could try 22.Qxe4 dxe4 23.Rhe1 and 24.Rxe4.
