A nuisance or a target for Black?

12... e4

with the idea that White cannot play 13. Nd4 because of 13... Qc7, trapping the rook.

13. Nd4 Qc7 14. c5! Nf6

14... Nxc5 15. Ncb5 cxb5 16. Nxb5 Qa5 17. Qxc5 with a big advantage. (The original notes to the game give 17. Qc4+, which can be met by 17... Be6!.) If now 17... Bxb2, then 18. Rb1 Qxa2 19. Rxb2! (19. Qc2) 19... Qxb2 (19... Qa1+ 20. Bc1) 20. Bd4.

15. Bf4 Qa5 16. Nb3 Qa6 17. f3 exf3 18. exf3 Qc4

A forced regrouping of the Queen but it is probably already too late.
