After 12.dxc5 Bb7?! 13.cxb6? axb6 14.f4? Andrew Martin's ...Ne5 is indeed possible, but 14...Na5 is obviously the better move because Black gets his pawn back. 13.Nf4! heading for d5 is more likely.
16.Bd5 Ne7 was suggested as a possible improvement on ...Na5 White should take on b7 and play f4 as in the game. On the day 18.dxe5 was preferred but this is not so clear (after engine analysis).
