Trow out the bite :) 14...Bxc3 15.Rxc3 Bxe4 16.c5 [D]r3k2r/pp2pp1p/3pn1p1/q1P5/4b3/2R1B3/PP1QBPPP/3R2K1 b kq - And black has many problems. Maybe best is 16...O-O after f.ex. 17.cxd6 exd6 18.Rd3 Qxd2 19.R3xd3 White regain the pawn and have a good game. If 19...d5 then 20.f3 d4 21.Bh6 and probably winning allready. The game proceded: 16...Rd8 17.cxd6 Bc6 18.Bf4 Nxf4 19.Qxf4 O-O 20.Rh3 g5 21.Rg3 h6 22.h4 Rxd6 23.Rxd6 exd6 24.hxg5 Qe5 25.gxh6+ Kh8 26.Qg4 Be4 27.Qg7+ Qxg7 28.hxg7+ Kg8 29.gxf8R+ Kxf8 30.Bf3 Bxf3 31.Rxf3 Ke7 32.Rb3 b6 33.Ra3 a5 34.Rb3 a4 1-0 Odd Gunnar
