  tamar: Bhat's 14 Nxb6 Qxb6 15 Nd5 should put 13...Nb6 out of commission.

One point he does not mention is that if Black tries to get tricky with 17 Qb4 18 Qa1! (18 Nxb4 Rxd1 19 Rd1 Bxb4 20 Rb1 a5 is not so clear, as Black has good drawing possibilities) 18...Qd6 19 Qc3

White is still a pawn down, but Black can hardly hold it. For example, Houdini gives 19...Kb8 20 Nxf6 gxf6 21 Rd2 Qc7 22 Rxd8+ Qxd8 23 Bxe5+ fxe5 24 Qxe5+ wins back the piece and puts White a pawn up. .79/19

Excellent attacking play by Bhat.
