22... Kh8 23. Rf3
Now black must lose the Queen or the game is lost.

 
23... Qxc2 24. f5
(!!) Idea behind this is shown in the upcoming moves. However if Rh3 , then Qh7 and white only gets the queen for a rook and is a pawn down. With five major pieces v 3 major pieces although white has the Queen. This pawn ensures it 3 v 3.

24... Qxf5 25. Rxf5
Loss of the queen prevents the checkmate but white will get back the material advantage as well as the positional one he already dominates.

 
25... exf5 26. Qf6+ Kh7 27. Qxd6
Now black loses either the bishop or knight and white is a queen for a rook up all down to a double bishop sacrifice. A major advantage and black decides to resign. This has to be the best win I have had due to the manner it was won in. I hope you enjoyed the game as I did annotating and playing it. Thanks to my opponent also, it was a good game. P.s. I did use analyze board to come up with the sacrifices something I am trying not to do. Cheers, David.
