18. Qxa6
If there's a trap too subtle for me to see, too bad. A free piece is a free piece.

 
18... Rae8 19. Qxc6
Moving Q closer to the centre, plus picking off another pawn, leaving black with 2 isolated pawns.

 
19... Nb8 20. Qd6
Just a biff, I evade without backing out of the offensive position.

 
20... Red8 21. Bxd8
A clear blunder; sieze the chance.

 
21... Nd7 22. Bg5
Get the B out of the firing line.

 
22... h6 23. Be7
I wish I'd thought of this last move. A nice threat.

 
23... Nb6
CC says "I'm stuck"

 
24. Nxb6
Take all exchanges offered - especially Knights as I'm prone to losing to cuunning N forks. This is better than taking the rook as BxB threatening the Q would allow my N to be taken without redress.
