Spoiler here>> It's been a while since I last looked at this position! I quickly double checked my idea that I mentioned in the last note, and I still really like it. 22.bxc5 straight away is slightly more forcing than 22.f4, but I think it makes no difference. 22...dxc5 23.f4 Ng4 (maybe Nf7 is better trying to trade off, but I'm still clearly better) 24.e5

It's obvious that I have a crushing advantage here- my knight is great, my light squared bishop is great, and I can pile up on the b7 pawn. <<Spoiler here
