In the last Variation 7...Qb8 is the black move 13...Qxd4 by the Author wrong.

[d]8/8/1q4p1/1p1pk3/pP1N2p1/P2PP1Pp/1P3P1P/3K4 b - - 6 13
13... Qxd4 ? 14. exd4+ 30# Kxd4 15. Kd2
Incidental i let SF calculate at move 15.Kd2 and the score was rising.
It come out there was a matt in 29 (going in the Var. and then backwards analysis)

Better seems 13...g5! which hold the draw
