18... Ke8 19. Qh5+
Step

 
19... Ke7 20. Qg5+
Trot to the g-file

 
20... Ke8 21. Qg6+
Step

 
21... Ke7 22. Qg7+
Step. The end of the dance, white now wins the black queen.

 
22... Ke6 23. Rxf8
The black queen has to give her life as her king is in a mating net.

 
23... Qxf8 24. Qxf8
Black's forces are virtually undeveloped, white's reserves have lots of time to come into action.

 
24... Nxe5
Deperation... The rest was played quickly and may not be the most efficient execution by the white forces. But it does not really matter anymore, black is lost anyway.

25. dxe5 b5 26. Nd2 Bb7 27. Qh6+ Kf7 28. Re1 Rf8
Black is shooting for a last trick: Protect the g2 pawn by his bishop, bring the rook to the f-file and hope that white leaves the backrank unprotected.

 
29. e6+ dxe6 30. Rxe6 Rg8 31. Nf3
White has activated his forces and opened the position with 29. e6 . I got the feeling there should be a fast win here, but settled for exchanging of the rooks - killing any counter-threats.

 
31... Rg7 32. Ne5+ Kf8 33. Re8+ Kxe8 34. Qxg7
After the exchange of the rooks, the queen and her shepherd knight will corral the black king. The skills of queen and knight are complementary and they form a good team.

 
34... Bc6 35. Qf7+ Kd8 36. Nxc6+ Kc8 37. Qxd5 a6 38. Ne7+ Kb8 39. Qc6 b4 40. Qxa6 c5 41. Qb6+ Ka8 42. Nc6 bxc3 43. Qa7#
Last embrace of the dance partners and curtains, I hope you enjoyed the show.
