Black did not get a positional advantage. Black was doing badly until several
bad moves, then horrible blunders, by White. A few examples:
14.Bb5
[14.h4 was much better]
14...f5 15.c3
[15.h4]
15...a6 16.Be2 Qc7 17.Qc2
[17.h4]
17...f4 18.Qxe4 Bd5 19.Qc2 fxe3 20.fxe3 Qe7 21.Kd2?? {an awful move!}
[simply 21.Qd2 ±]
21...Rae8 22.Rhf1??? {a horrible blunder}
[22.Raf1 Qxe3+ 23.Kd1 Bxg2 24.Rxf8+ Rxf8 25.Re1 =+]
etc.
