?? This move loses. Essential was 20.Bd7 Kc7 21.Nxg4 Kxd7 22.Ne3 - White is in trouble but still alive.

! 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.

Rxh3!!....and the best is yet to come.....

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.
