15... Kxe7
? The last error. Black could try to hold on after 15. Ke8! but still white wins after 16. Nxc8 16. Rf8! (16. Rxc8 17. Bg5+ 17. Ke8 18. Qf7#) 17. Bg5+ 17. Rf6 18. Qe7+! 18. Kxc8 19. Qe8# But this variation requires no calculation.

 
16. Bg5+
The two bishops and Queen brutally rip apart the Black position. The game is not over yet although it is forced mate. I wanted to annotate the game as soon as possible so all the variations were still in my head, sorry if my opponent sees this. A great tactical game. Both of us missed a stunning knight sacrifice leading to forced mate, but I was able to get out of the opening with a strong material and positional lead which enabled me to sacrifice my material back for a winning attack. A very interesting game that had me laughing at all the funny ways white could win, I suggest people to check out other possible Black replies I did not show in the game and see the amazing replies white has.
