  chrisowen: I jabby its sod faith gnaw its Nxb5 abracadabra mob debt :)
Nov-20-23  Brenin: After 14 Nxb5, Black does better to recapture with 14 ... axb5, e.g. 15 Qxb5+ N8d7 16 Qxb7 Qxb7 17 Bxb7 Rxa1 18 Rxa1 0-0, and White is a P up, but with all Ps on the K-side it's not an easy win for White.
Nov-20-23  mel gibson: The first ply was obvious to me after less than 3 seconds. The position is very balanced.

Stockfish 16 is calling it close to a draw:

14. Nxb5

(14. Nxb5 (Nc3xb5 a6xb5 Qb3xb5+ Nf6-d7 Ne5xd7 Nf8xd7 Qb5xb7 Qc7xb7 Bg2xb7 Ra8-d8 d2-d3 O-O h2-h4 Nd7-f6 f2-f3 g7-g6 Kg1-f2 h7-h5 Rf1-c1 Rd8-d6 ) +0.78/57 469)

score for White +0.78 depth 57.
