17... Bd7 18. Rad1

control of the center is crucial for white to keep advantage.

18... Bxb5 19. Qxb5+ Qc6

a queen exchange would even out this game. However, with Black King open it gives me more chances to win if i dont exchange |

20. Qd3
|
Qd3 is perhaps not the best retreat move |

|
|
|
20... Rd8
|
that is why |

21. Qb3

could have just moved to Qb3 earlier (but I got lost in all the thinking) |

passed pawn, is stronger as it gets closer to its target (assuming its well protected) |

|
|
|
22... Ne7
|
Ne7 is good defensive reply, since it block white pawn development protects the knight and does not interfere with Rf8 move to attack my f2 pawn |

Qg3 changing directions to plan attack from the other side |

Black adding pressure on f7 pawn, and at least capturing b-pawn as a back-up plan |

24. Qxg7

f7 square threat for mate, im not too worried with Bxf2 move |

|

|
24... Bxf2+

26. Qf7#

f7 square mate which started with popular knight sacrifice.
Even without the Rg8 mistake White eventually probably mates.
So, Analyzing the board
25. Rf8-Bh6 now there is threat for f7 & f8 mate
Black cannot take my d rook because of Qxf8
If black moves 26. Rf5 to protect f7 & f8 squares,
Then i have other tricks in my sleeve, for example Qh8
If you can figure out the defense for the black please email me i'd like to hear it
Thanks!
