Not sure what I'd play, but I had to investigate Nxc3, as i knew there was some idea that i wasn't seeing there.
14... Nxc3 15. O-O Ne4 16. Bxe4 Qxc5 (16... dxe4?? 17. Qxe4+ Kd8 (17... Be6 18. Nxe6
fxe6 (18... Rg8 19. Rad1) 19. Qxe6+ Kf8 20. Rad1 Rh7 21. Qd6+) (17... Kf8 18.
Qe5) 18. Qe5 {double attack on rooks}) 17. Qxc5 Bxc5 18. Bxd5 *
Turns out it just loses a pawn for black if he tried to keep the extra material!
I had to use fritz to find the 15. O-O move :(, very interesting idea !
Nxc3 looks bad after something like:
14...
Nxc3 15. O-O Qa4 (15... Ba4 16. b3 Bxc5 17. Rac1) 16. bxc3 Qxc2 17. Bxc2 Bxc5
18. Rfd1 *
Black ends up with a weak isolated D pawn that will fall sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the analysis and thoughts, Bill. I'll post the new moves tomorrow; perhaps we shall see your lines played out soon!

14... Ba4 15. Qxa4+ Qxa4 16. Bb5+ Qxb5 17. Ndxb5 Rc8 18. Rc1 Rxc5 19. Ke2 Bxc3 20.
Nxc3 Nxc3+ 1/2-1/2
I guess I'm too late to vote, but I'd go for 14... Ba4 expecting to follow the game above.
I've joined the forum, looks interesting :)
Well we'll soon see if your analysis happens in real life, Bill - The Rest of the World has indeed plumped for 14...Nxc3 !
