d5! Closes up the position and gives white a REAL advantage.

13... Bc8
Although this move looks like a waste of time it isn't. Whites bishop on b7 won't do much as the pawn structure is locked. He'll try to put his bishop on a better square.

 
14. Nbd2
It protects c4 and develops.

 
14... g6
I don't know about this move. Maybe it was to prevent a knight coming onto f5 but he has a bishop.

15. b4
Strange move. It attacks the knight and gains space on the Queenside.

16... Bd7
Defends the pawn.

 
17. axb5 axb5
Why not take with the bishop? I suppose he didn't want to tie down the bishop to a6.

18. Rxa8 Qxa8 19. Re3
Trying to swing the rook over to a3 where it'll attack the queen.

 
19... Qc8
Black doesn't want to be attacked with TEMPO and so moves his queen onto a open file.

 
20. Ra3
White grabs the open file and can play Ra7 infiltrating blacks queenside.

 
20... Qc7
A weird move at first but the idea was to get the rook active.

 
21. Nb3
Making way for the bishop.
