19... gxh6
Et voilą! What seemed impossible a couple of moves ago - getting a rook with check on the g-file - came to happen.

 
20. Re3
20.Bxh7 would have prevented the onslaught for a while but it would only have pleased Fritz. The point is black's.

 
20... Rg8+
Mate in 7.

 
21. Ng5
White foregoes the useless 21.Bg6.

 
21... Rxg5+ 22. Rg3 Bxg3 23. fxg3 Rxg3+ 24. Kf2 Rg2+ 25. Ke1 Qe3+ 26. Be2 Rg1#
