13... axb5 14. Ndxb5
2 pawns and an attack for the bishop... it is a good idea, of course...

 
14... Qb8 15. Nxd6+
and now 3 pawns!

 
15... Ke7
not quite sure this is the best move i made. But i considered the 2 others -Kf8 and Kd8- and i did not like them.

16. Nxf7
excellent move

 
16... Bxc3
Not Kxf6 followed by the terminating Rxd7

17. bxc3
bad pawn structure; was Qxc3 not better?

17... Rc8
the good news is that I save my rook...

 
18. Rxd7+
increasing the pressure... but at what cost!

 
18... Kxd7 19. Rd1+ Ke7 20. Ne5
now the "épreuve de force" starts: white still has the attack, but black can try to reduce it.

reducing

 
21. Rxd8
accepting the reducing.
