Variations annotated by chess.com's computer analysis (check move list for them anytime there's punctuation). Any comments appreciated!

Why not 30. ... Rc1 pinning the queen? This looks like an easy win. Am I missing something?

Why doesn't white take the knight fork at 14 or 15?

24. Qxc6 wins the rook outright, since 24... Qxc6?? loses to 25. Ne5+ forking the king and queen.
