Black knew that if he declined the sacrifice, his misery would last longer when he's down a few pawns in a hopeless passive position. His first instinct must've been to accept it, giving me a faster more brilliant win. |

Now an array of tactical threats crush Black. Black has four legal moves, three of which will immediately lose material. Black chooses the one that doesn't lose material, and actually gets mated. |

Black probably overlooked my forced mate. He could've suffered longer with Rf7 Bxf7 Qxf7 Qxf7 Kxf7 Rd7 then Rxb7, which would leave me with a winning endgame, two rooks and an extra pawn against his rook and knight. |

Annihilating Black's exposed king. |

He can flee no further. My active pieces have completed their tactical attack. |
