Official move, if there are no objections.
I don't object, but I would have chosen 11. ..., exf4. Why? It would keep up the pressure on the queen. If white plays right now, after blacks be7xg5, it looks to me that the white queen is going to end up at h4 which isn't to bad for white. That gives chances for potential forceful counter play along the h-file.
Still, I have to admit that all the different tactical options are a bit hard to judge correct.

If black would have played 11. ..., exf4 something like this could have happened. (excuse my short visit to the land of if.)This also shows the theme of why white playing pawn to f3 isn't always a big worry, as UnderseaLcpl often seems to think when looking at the seemingly stranded knight at g4.

11. ..., exf4
12. Bxf4, Bd6
13. Bxd6, cxd6
14. f3, Ne3+
15. Ke1, Nexc2+
16. Kf2, Qb6
17. Qg7, Nf5+
18. Ke2, Qe3+
and black forces mate in a few more moves.
