! I'll allow myself another exclamation mark for this move. It clearly stunned my opponent who instantly fell apart. |

This move guarantees Black will checkmate in 4 moves or less (I think).
Essential was 22.Bd1 Bxd1 23.Rxd1 Kxd7 24.h3. |

A lovely double-bishop mate (with the help of the pawn, naturally).
A most satisfying finish and one which highlights the artistic nature of chess. |
