Feb-20-08  Knight13: 24. Nxd5?? But then 24. exd4 and Nxd4 also loses. Maybe 22. Na4 is a better try.
Dec-16-14  Knight13: White made a string of three successively worse errors:

22. Rc2?!: 22. Rfd1 is better; 22. Rc2?! c5 23. Rd2 c4 gives Black the edge on the Queenside; Black has a slight advantage after 23. dxc5 Rxc5.

23. Rec1? loses a pawn to 23... cxd4 24. exd4 Bxd4 (25. Nxd4 Qe1+).

24. Nxd5?? gifts a Rook and two Knights for a Queen, not to mention the overwhelming initiative.

26. Nf5+ gxf5 27. h4 may be slightly more precise, but White is still badly losing after 27... Kh6.
