  Benzol: 16.exd6 allows 16...♕h4. I was wondering if 16.♘f3 was any better but it doesn't look to hopeful.
Feb-25-15  nekochan: 19.Qh5 Re1+ 20.Nf1 Qd7 21.h3 Rae8 22.Bc4 Qc6 23.Qxf7+ Kh8 24.f3 Qc5+ 25.Kh2 Rf8 26.Qd7 Bxf3 27.Qd2 Rd1 28.Qg5 Qxg5 29.Bxg5 Rxa1 30.qxf3 and black is clearly better, but the game is not over yet.
