15... Nh5
This accellerates black's demise, as it allows a beautiful combination. ...Ne8 was necessary, but still there can be no doubt that white will win.

 
16. Nxg5
Crushing the last bit of black's king's defence. Black will now lose material no matter what.

 
16... Nxg3
...hxg5 17.Qxh5 followed by Qxg5+ and black doesn't have enough resources to defend. This move however allows a forced mate in 12 (give or take)!

 
17. Qd3
Mate to follow soon... I tried to setup a gameknot puzzle from the last position but the page hung after entering a load of variations (the system can be quite a pain...) - this is probably more than GK can handle.
