Well, the whole situation's 'gone unstable', but:

10. ...g5!
11. Bg3 Nf4 (don't think Black can force ...g4, ends in a draw)
12. Bb5 (I assume White wants this before the *inevitable* Bxf4) Re*8 (*=b,c,d)
13. Na8 Rxa8
14. Bxf4 gxf4
15. Rh1 Kg7

Form now on this is pretty speculative, but as you say it looks bad for White

16. Kc3 a6
17. Bf1 f3 (Bd3 Nxd3 Kxd3 Re8 is good; Be2 b5!)
18. a4 a5
19. b3 Kf6
20. Rh6+ Ke7
21. Bh3 Rg8
22. Rh5 b6! now Black has consolidated completely
23. Kd2 Rg2
24. Ke3 Rg1 and if 25. Bf5 then ...Re1+, else ...Rb1 etc.

How does this seem?
