Why is 18. Ba3+ decisive? Black can easily defend by returning material: 18 ... Ndb4, 19. Bxb4+ (19. cxb4 b5!) 19 ... Nxb4 20. cxb4, and White's attack runs out of steam. Am I missing something?

Still work to be done, it seems, after 15... Kg6 16 Qd3+ f5 17 exf6+ Kxf6 18 Re1 Re8 [other defensive try: 18... a5!? - making Ba6 or a later Ra7 possible] 19 Qf3+ Ke7!? [instead of Marin's Kg6?] 20 Rxe6 Qxe6 21 Nxe6 Bxe6. White should be better, but it's not clearly game over.
