    25...f6 is losing by force, but maybe black can hold with 25...c4 intending Bf8?, not sure.

    What about

    15            xb5

    16  xb5    Nxc3

    17  Bxc3  Bxc3+

    18  Rxc3  Ra1+

     

    Of course, white could just lose the pawn to avoid it, but unless I am missing something, this is still very good for black.

    Yep, jonathan, 17... Nxc3 wins (also winning material was 17... Qa5).  Nice finale--more a queen win than a queen trap.
