Spoiler here>> Wow. Once again completely unexpected, but while previously I came to realise 'That's quite a strong move actually', this time I really dislike his last move. He has donated the g5 square for my knight, my light-squared bishop is about to be opened up on the long diagonal, and many squares around his king are weakened. In return, very dubious attacking chances?
Ok, I have a couple of weaknesses on f2 and d3, but it seems I should be able to cover them. It has become clear in my analysis that a3 is often a very nice square for my queen, both defending d3 and putting pressure on c5. For example 20...Be5 (preparing f4, I don't see that many other ideas) 21.exf5 Bxf5 22.Qa3, with threats of Bxb7, bxc5 and Bd5+
If he tries 20...Ne5 21.Qa3 looks like a decent counter once again.
It's entirely possible that in 5 moves time I will be made to look stupid, but all the chess bones in my body tell me that f5 must be wrong... <<Spoiler here
