18. Qe5
! covers both c7 and b1, and hence stopping Rd7 and preventing my queen from attacking. so a better square for the white queen than g7.

 
18... Bf5 19. a4
! the winning move...

 
19... a5
i had to block the pawn, or the queen is screwed... Rd7 is out as it blocks my king's only flight square after Qb8... i guess Qa5 is an alternative, but b4 soon sorts that out...

 
20. Ra3
! this is when i realised i was in deep trouble, but i had one last plan... run away...!

 
20... Kd7
i have to get the king away, or Rb3 wins... the queen cannot take the rook, nor go anywhere else...

 
21. Qg7+
and i resign... just two squares... e8 and the rook is gone, c8 and the queen is gone... excellent play by leo...
