I was hoping for some kibitzing here, oh well :(. I guess I'll take the game into uncharted waters with 15...dxc2. I see nothing wrong with it, and it trades the d-pawn before it will become extremely weak.

Good idea but axb5 Rae1 Rxg7 and black not only is a pawn up but also is stopping Ng5.
16...axb5 seems forced.
17.Rxa8 and Rad1 are my candidates.
I play 17.Rad1, it has some nice threats
Any help here?
