What if anything is wrong with 14.Nbc7+ Kd7 then 14Qh5 threating check mate doesnt black lose Q here?
why not 14. Nxb4?

not Nxb4 becuase 2minor pieces for a rook and a pawn is bad in the middle game.
so it's better to sac 2 minor peices rather than get a rook?

I believe theory according alterman actually gives nd-b7+ as more accurate(don't remember why though)

no point in losing 2 peices for nothing but 2 minor is better then a rook and pawn thats all if there is nothing to do then white can no longer conciter this as a line. but in a game if nothing else why not. just looking for the best possible outcome when studing but in a game may not have enough time then I would go for the rook and hope I could surf the waves.
