25 Bb7 wins material it seems

how

Equiv

The bishop is pinned to the queen by the e1 rook Bb7 attacks the pinned piece and a response to stop it is c6,  Bxc6 (the d pawn cant recapture because pinned to the king) and you will win material

Also if tries defending with the knight c5 adds a new attacker

Some quick thoughts:

9.  bh4 looks like a mistake.  You can see he is eyeing queenside castling, and you are castled kingside.  You are just mobilizing his pawns for him.  This didnt turn out to be a huge deal in game, but it could have.

21.  b5 should slow your attack - 20 bb4 avoids this situation and looks better.

Analysis so far. Thanks!
