Very interesting position. Nh3! Novelty? This is the kind of chess I like, white seeks dark squared domination, black counter attacks on the long diagonal, plays on the c file and looks for a break in the center. WOW!

In the position above 19. ... exd4 would have been interesting, the exchange of 2 Rooks for a Queen I am sure might have lead to some sharp play.
