17. Ba3+ Kg8
... phew ... Position worth label "White to move and Win"

 
18. Rd1
Black has two options, 1. exchange queen for two rooks or save it.

 
18... Bd7 19. Re4
there was another very good continuation ... RxB QxR QxB and White won 2 bishops for rook, bur further continuation goes Qd1 Bf1 only move Qxc2 so position become very ..... so White postpone this line for a while as in this postion Black does not find good squars for his pieces, let's examine Black Queen cannot move, d7 bishop is pinned, both rooks doesn't do anything. if f6 bishop go back g7 this will be blunder and all other moves either loses or nothing do any harm to White. according to White Kg7 should be next move for Black, what do u think? But Kg7 can ruin the kingside ...

 
19... Qc8
?? Oops

 
20. Qxf6 c5 21. Qxg6+ Rg7 22. Bxf7+
and checkmate in few moves. White Wants Comments. Game was annotated throgh the eyes of "abro". But if you analyse it on computer u'll see many dramas ... even at onle place White missed the possibly forced mate.
