21. Qg2 Qb6+
I move the queen to check in hopes of trading off the queens and atleast to allow safe passage for my f rook to double up on the b file.

 
22. Kh1 fxg5
I take g pawn weakening the kingside fully

 
23. Nxg5 Rxf1+
I trade rooks, abandoning my doubling plan, in hopes of simply reducing the enemy's overall offencive power and consequently it's potental for counter-attack. Trading pieces is encouraged when a you're up a pawn.

 
24. Qxf1 Rxc2
24. Qxf1 left the backward pawn hanging so I pick it up and now attack the c3 knight.

 
25. Ne6 Qf2
setting up for a mate in 2, I must block in hopes of a trade.

 
26. Qh3 Rxc3
Still refusing to trade queens, I pick up a free piece in the process.

 
27. Rf1 Bxe4+
BOOM! I'd like to say that I was planning this move from the start or atleast from 4 moves earlier, but no. After a little guess work & imagination I found it and was happy with the resulting forced mate. White resigned.
