12.Qf3 is stronger than Nf3.  White is already a piece ahead; why not swap?  BTW, 15....Rh1+; 16.Kf2 and what is the follow up?  16....Rh2+; 17.Ke3 and though White's K is uncomfortable, I don't see a mate or a win of material.

Not sure what neildudely was about to suggest...but anyway, I think he was right about 15... Rh1+: 16 Kf2 Rh2+ 17 Ke3 e5 18 Nde4 (forced due to the threat of 18... f4+ followed by 19... Nf5 mate) O-O-O.  It also looks like 15... Qh1+ 16 Kf2 Rh2+ 17 Ke3 Qxe1+ 18 Qxe1 Nxc2+ was adequate to the task.

Weird that the diagram doesn't work but that's what I was saying.
