  offramp: After 10. Nxb5.

BTW Gormally White was 2443, Black 1815. It's a big difference.

Black was driven crazy by the allure of the white king in the centre.
He played 10...Nxe4 with the idea of 11. Bxe4 Re8 pinning the ♗ against the king.
11...Re8.
This is move 11, BTW. That is early in a Benoni to undertake complicated manoeuvres.

12. Ng5! Yoinks.Black may <not> have foreseen that.

You know that phrase, <"If you say A then you have to say B">.

Black plays
12...f5?? This was a bad Milk Tray escapade to undertake.
13. Re1 fxe4 - this is the "B" of the phrase "if you say A...." etc.
The Black king looks wide open, after ....f5.

After the wacky 14...Bxb2 Black is totally lost.
