21. Qe3
defending the g5 bishop...

 
21... Qf5
...which i attack again

 
22. f4
An ugly move, but there probably isn't any better

 
22... dxe5
Opening up the position

 
23. Qa7
Slightly worrying, but as long as I can keep the rook, I should be fine - I can lose a few pawns, no problem

 
23... Rc8
The a-pawn is indefencible, so i may as well shore up my c-pawn

 
24. Bxe7
Hoping to save f4

 
24... Qxf4+
No! I gain time by checking the king

 
25. Kb1
Now he has to watch for back-rank mates

 
25... Rxe7
Recapturing the bishop, before deciding how to finish

 
26. Nd5
To be honest, I didn't see that this attacks my Queen as well as the rook. He can't win the exchange here though

 
26... Rd7
If the knight moves, it is mate

 
27. Nxf4
The knight moves (but he was already lost)

 
27... Rxd1#
It's mate!
