The idea in "my" position is slightly different: 23..Nf6 24. Nxf6+ gxf6 25. f5
Nh2 26. Rf4 Nf3+ 27. Rxf3 Qxf3 when also g3 hangs and a permanent blocking of
the bishop seems impossible.

Don't forget we are discussing Kasparov's 16th move here and millions or angst
are given as reasons why he discarded it. I don't think Huebner would say that
the position at move 27 is won for white and as I said I don't think black has
problems here.
