I was White in this position against GM Geller in 1992. How should I proceed?

how about 1. nd4. Doesn’t that win the queen?
Nd4 then Nf4
White’s 23rd in this game was a little sloppy. In light of Geller’s response to it, though, this is nitpicky.
So Geller played Nxe5 after Susan played Nd4 — basically giving up his Queen.
I thought the game could have gone on a bit longer with 1. … Nf4 although white clearly had the upperhand on the queen side. For example,
1. Nd4 Nf4
2. Bxf4 Bxd4
3. Rd1-c1
Hm, turns out 1. … Nf4 is not even playable, hehe. White could easily play Qf1.
I really should go to bed already :).

Or even 2.Qe3.
1…Nf4 doesn’t save the game for Black, but then, neither does his actual 1…Nxe5 (or anything else).
Nd4 dear susan, jb.
