14...g5?
Not good. Black weakens the f6-square. Before 14...Ba6 and 14...d5 were played. For example, 14...d5 15. exd6 Qxd6 16. Nbd2 Be6 17. Ne4 Qd5, Delorme, A - Potkin, V, Rohde op 2006. Here White can obtain a small edge in the endgame after 18. hxg7 Bxg7 19. Qxc5 Qxc5 20. Nxc5 Bd5 21. Re1+ Kd8 22. Rh3 (22. Ne4) 22...Bxb2 23. c4 Bxf3 24. Rxf3.
15. Nbd2!
Not bad. The knight goes to the center.
15...g4 16. Ne4

16...Be7 17. Nfd2
Here the first player could win quickly with 17. Nd6+!! Kf8 (17...Bxd6 18. exd6 Qxd6 19.Ng5! Rxg5 20. Qh8+ Ke7 21. Re1+) 18. Rh5! Qd8 (18...gxf3 19. Rf5 Bxd6 20. Qc4) 19. Rf5!! Bxd6 (19... gxf3 20. Rxf7 mate) 20. Ng5!

23...Qf8 (23...Rxg5 24. Qf6) 24. Re8! Rxg5 25. Qf6 Qxe8 26. Qxg5+ Kf8 27. Qg7 checkmate! I have found this variation with astonishing combinations with a little help from my friend Fritz 10.
17...a6 18. Nd6+ Kd8 19. Nxf7+ Kc8 20. Ne4

20...Qb6
White is better.
21. Nfd6+ Bxd6 22. exd6

Increasing control over the c5-point.
23...cxd3 24. cxd3 g3

25. Nc5
Defending the king from various threats.
25...gxf2 26. Kxf2 Bxd3 27. Rg1 Bg6 28. Re5 Rb8

29. Rxg6!
Winning.
29...hxg6
If 29...Rxg6 then 30. Re8+.
30. h7 Rf8 31. Re2 Qd8 32. Re7 f3 33. Nxd7
