Well, I hoped to spark a discusion about book lines.
Describing DB as dragon slayer should have attracted at
least one reader who is envolved with book for your engine.
O.K. I will continue.

18.Bd5 e6 19.hxg6 exd5 (20.h5 looks good for black)
20.gxf7+ Rxf7 21.Nxd5 Bg7 22.h5
[22.Qf2 Nc6 23.Ne2 Ne7 24.Nef4 Nxd5 25.Nxd5 Bc6 26.Qg3 Bxd5 27.Rxd5 Rxd5 28.exd5
Qf6;
22.f4 Nc4 23.Qe1 Qe8 24.c3 Kh8 25.h5 Bh6 26.Rh4 Rxd5 27.exd5 Qxe1 28.Rxe1 Bxf4
29.Re2 Nb6 30.Kc2 Nxd5;
22.Qg2 Rxd5 23.exd5 Qf6 24.Rhf1 Qxh4 25.Ne6 Nc4 26.Nxg7 Rxg7 27.Qe2 Qf6 28.c3 a3
29.Kc2 Bf5+ 30.Kb3 axb2;
22.Rdg1 a3 23.b4 Rc4 24.Ne3 (24.h5 Rxd4 25.Qxd4 Nxf3 26.Rxg7+ Rxg7 27.Qc3 Rf7
28.h6 Kh7 29.Qd3 Qg5) 24...Rxd4 25.Qxd4 Nxf3 26.Rxg7+ Rxg7 27.Qd5+ Rf7 28.Qxd6
Qe7 29.Qxe7 Rxe7 30.Nf5 Rxe4]
22...Nc4 23.Qf2 Bxd4 24.Qxd4 [24.Rxd4 Be6 25.h6 Bxd5 26.Rxd5 Rxd5 27.exd5 Qf6
28.c3 Qxf3] 24...Kh7 25.f4 Bc6 26.Qd3 Bxd5 27.exd5+ Kh8 28.Rhe1 Qf6 29.Re8+ Rf8
30.Rxf8+ Qxf8 31.Re1 Rc8 0-1
Can black survive after 20..Rf7 is the question.
