This manoeuvre with the queen is dubious.

14... Nxb2.

15. Ba1!

This sly retreat gives White a clear advantage.

15... b6 16. dxe5 Nd7?

Black should interpose 16... Nc5 17. Qc2 Nfd7 but White's extra pawn and two powerful bishops must prevail in the long run. Now Black's position collapses quickly.
