19. ...Qd5+
20. f3 Qc6!?
White has a free move, how can you state it's been refuted....
Bg5, Ba3, for the sake of what not..
What are you doing with the c2, we've got Rf2 it's not like white has to roll over an die and if you exchange down....

21.Bd2 is what I would expect. Then 21...Qc2 22.Qxc2 Rxc2 23.Rf2 and now we have options like Rec8, Nd5, or even h6 relieving back rank trouble and allowing the knight to stay comfortably on f6 for now (because 23...Nd5 24.Re1 Rec8 25.Re5 is icky for us).
But 20.f3 opening the second rank is just an ugly move in an ending with 6 major pieces on the board. We should probably just avoid exchanges and stack on the d-file to keep all the rooks on in this case.
