12... dxc3 13. Bc1 Ndxe5 
 | 
taking the pawn before Bf4 guards it enough to prevent me from taking it | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
14. Nc2 
 | 
might be trying to relocate knight to e3 |

trading when ahead |

15. Bxf3 Qc7 
 | 
guards bishop so knight can move |

16. a4 b4 
 | 
taking a4 would leave me with isolated doubled pawns while advancing supports b3 pawn |

18. Nc4 Nd4 
 | 
I also have an outpost for my knight | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
19. Bxb7 
 | 
somewhat forced |

my opponent is likely wanting to do Bd6 in hopes of grabbing my c5 pawn or forking my king and queen if I take his bishop | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
20... O-O 
 | 
if Bd6, I can now take the bishop without a fork happening |

What I think is a clever move that nets me the b3 pawn for free. The queen must move and it can not move to a square that would allow it to safely attack my c2 pawn. 
Qe2-my knight takes or Qd2/Qc1 allows me to take on c3 and fork queen and rook

25... cxd4 
 | 
taking the rook leads to Qxg7# | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
26. Rb2 Rfc8 
 | 
'pinning' the knight because if it moves I queen my c-pawn | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
27. Qf3 
 | 
this is a questionable move since my opponent is offering a queen trade when he is down material |

29... Rxc4 
 | 
the knight was the only thing keeping my c-pawn from queening without the rook protecting it and now if he takes my rook I gain a third passed pawn |
