Given what happened in this game, what do you think about 13...gxf6!? White is far enough behind in development that he can't take immediate advantage of Black's weakened pawn structure or exposed king.

Good suggestion. I'm not looking at the position with a computer and really don't see a short or long-term plan that could exploit doubled g-pawns. It's likely still preferred to capture on 13....Nxf thought. Maybe there is some improvemnt down the line in that of 17....e5 (with d5 to follow since the d-pawns would then be backward), just trying to kick that knight from eyeing the c6 square, before b5 creates a post for him.
