15. Bf4
A creative, though insufficient, response that I had not expected. 15. Qxa6? drops the Queen to …d3+!, while otherwise the threats of Bxd3, d3+, and R/Bxe2 are decisive.

 
15... Qxf4 16. Qxa6 d3+ 17. Kh1 dxe2 18. Re1 Bd6
Black's advantage is overwhelming and any number of moves win here, but this one ends things quickly. Once you have an advantage, don't sit there waiting for the position to win itself – that's when you get swindled. When you smell blood, go for the throat!

 
19. g3 Qxf3+
19. Kg2 Bc5# An instructive miniature!
