Why did engine write,"Nice Come Back Win?" I was winning all the way!

Because you were losing until your opponent started blundering at move 18.

The engine analysis is wrong it was about even with slight advantage to opp.. at this rating level -- its not a winning advantage only if its at expert/ IM/GM level is the analysis correct.

I often see, “nice comeback win” immediately after the game, but when I run the analysis find that I was never in trouble. I think skepticism about the engine’s prose might be in order.

Anything that analyzes your game in a few seconds is just a gimmick.

Black was never winning until I believe 19. a3, which after 19...Bxc5 Black does have advantage positionally.

Isn't Black in huge trouble before the greedy move 14.b4?

It is not easy to get white's extra pawn back without major positional concessions.

And of course 14.b4? should have been met with 14...cxb3 e.p., when that big, fat pawn at a6 will start looking like a bishop.

All I can say is white is giving over its position to an increasing spatial advantage allowing the Bishop pair to establish dominance over the entire board not to mention those dangerous past pawns. I thought engine was able to view the board many moves in advance. To me, engine blundered in ever believing black was at a disadvantage. At one point engine has white +1.26. With that, I cannot concur. I have black in complete control.
