As Black should be thinking about obtaining equality, this move is
definitely a surprise. There was nothing so terrible about 20 ... Nxd3 21 Qxd3
Na5, heading to c4. I am not sure what the knight on e6 can hope to accomplish
other than eventually trading itself off for a bishop. Now on 21 Bg3 I do not
see a followup concrete enough to justify Black's retaining the knight.
