25. Bxh6
The bishop is off limits after 26. Qg4 Kh8; 27. Nxe6 Qe7; 28. Rf6!! Black can resign.

 
25... Qg6
26. Bxg7 is a threat.

 
26. Bc1
I considered 26. Bxg7 followed by 27. Rf3, but it seemed like Black was getting too much.

 
26... Bb6
Maybe ...Rf8 or even ...Bd8 in view of...

 
27. h4
Black doesn't have any pieces to harass my king.

 
27... Bxc5

 
28. Nxc5

 
28... Ne7

 
29. h5

 
29... Qe8
