21. Rad1
He finally completes his development

 
21... Bb7
I grab the long diagonal.

 
22. Nd5
Quite a stunning sacrifice. I thought I couldn't take this, because of exd5 23. Qxe7 Rxe7 24. Rxe7 Bxe7 25. Bxc7 and he gets the piece back. After the game, my opponent thought that this position was good for black. However I thought what I did play led to a plus for black.

 
22... Bxd5
So I took this way.

 
23. cxd5
He took back

 
23... e5
and I finally get in e5, threatening e4

 
24. Bxc7
So he takes here

 
24... Qxc7
I take back
