14... O-O-O
Relatively "safe" enough to castle QS..No immediate threat from white...(if-any)...hopefully white can open the B-file and start an attack on Blacks King...!!..??..QS-Castling in this game does place King in Safety and brings Rook into immediate play...!!

 
15. d5 Re8
...Well...at least...Black moved...R-e1....!!!!!....Good-Move-4-Black..!!

 
16. Nd2
White..may have considered Na3 and then perhaps N-c2..depends on Blacks reply to N-a3...

 
16... Be7
Blacks B-e7 is good...BUT...what about Bxd5..??..White was guarding his Pawn on d5 with the Queen..Knight moving to d2..Blocks Queens Protection of Pawn.......B-h4..is a possibility......Long Time ago...white should moved K-h1.....Not..R-f2..!!...Blacks Bishop Pair will be something White will have to deal with...

 
17. Nc4 Qf4
AGREED ON COMMENT ON N-h5 AND Qb3....also...Rook now un-pinned...

 
18. Na5
The Q-Side attack begins...although slightly...nothing for Black to worry about at this moment in the game...........Agree with comments

 
18... Ba8 19. c4
..It would seem better to leave Pawn on c3..............

 
19... Bf6
...B-f6...Excellent Move for Black...!!!!......If ..20.R-b1---B-d4 pinning / winning Rook on f2....White at this point might want to consider moving (20) R-f1 Bxb2...(21) Rb1 Bd4 check...(22) Kh1..from that point Black can move more aggresively with Re3..followed by R/1-e8..doubling the Rooks and a Commanding Control over center with strong attacking possibilities....OR....Black can move...(21) Rb1 Bd4 ck...(22) Kh1 and then..Be5 threatening mate...!!..either way...Black Will Decide...!!!!!!!!!!

 
20. b3
...From Bad To Worse...!!...Whites Game is over....!!!...Just a matter of time now until Black places the "~Anaconda~~Squeeze~ " on white...!!!........." Error " by white is an --understatent--

 
20... Bxa1 21. Qxa1
The Expected Move.....

 
21... Re5 22. Nc6
...In Agreement....

 
22... Bxc6
Indeed....in agreement...!!!

 
23. dxc6 Rhe8
...AAaahhhhh.....yes indeed....The End Draweth Near...!!...There will be no " Happy New Year " for White today...!!

 
24. Rf1
Well..the Rook "finally" moves.....but it is........... toooooo...... late.....

 
24... Qd4+
ABSOLUTELY.........!!!......Excellent Move for Black...!!

 
25. Qxd4
NATURALLY

 
25... cxd4 26. f4 Re5e2
THE END DRAWETH CLOSER.............AGREED W/COMMENTS

 
27. h4
AN ADDITIONAL ESCAPE ROUTE AND....OR... JUST THE NORMAL "" WAITING FOR THE END MOVE "".....???

 
27... Rxa2
AGREED....EVEN IF WHITE MOVES P-a4......BLK CAN STILL MOVE R-B2 ATTACKING A PAWN AND PREPARING FOR ROOK...R/8--E2

 
28. Rf2
BETTER MIGHT HAVE BEEN R-f1......((NOT... R-F2)).........Hmmmm......There will be No--Party for White..!!!
