Bb7 17. e4 +/- ) 17. Bxf6 gxf6 # 18. dxc5 ( 18. d5 leads to a clear positional advantage, but I felt that White can play for a direct attack. ) 18...  Nxc5 19. Rfd1 Bf8 20. b4! Nxa4 21. Nf4 White is a pawn down, but the knight on a4 is out of play, while most other black pieces are also away from their king. 21...  Bg7 22. Nd4 Qb6 ( 22... e5 can lead to a nice mate: 23. Bxf7+ Kxf7 24. Qa2+ Kf8 25. Ng6# ) 23. Qb1 The idea of this move is to prepare 24.Rc6. 23...  Bb7 Allows the combination from the game, but Black's position is difficult anyway. ( 23... f5 24. Rc6 Qb7 25. Rdc1 +/- ) # 24. Ndxe6! fxe6 25. Rd7 ( 25. Rd7 Rac8 ( 25... Bc8 26. Rxc8 Raxc8 27. Qg6 +- ) 26. Rxc8 Bxc8 27. Rxg7+ Kxg7 28. Qg6+ Kf8 29. Qh7 followed by 30.Ng6 and mate ) 1-0
