12... Ng6
Only move for Black to continue with.

 
13. Bxd5+
White continues on relentlessly, taking the d5 pawn to check the Black King.

 
13... Be6
11... d5 earlier means that this is playable too, developing another piece for Black. Kh8 is clearly mate again from Bg7.

14. Bxa8
White chooses to grab another piece, putting him +11 up in material terms at this moment. White's King is in the middle of the board with little support and I think White underestimates how quickly Black can now mobilise for an attack on that King. Black has a forced mate in four here.

 
14... Nxc2+
I like this move a lot - many players will re-take a piece just because they assume they must. Black ignores the Bishop to mount an attack of his own.

 
15. Ke2
Only move as 15. Kf1 Qd1#.

 
15... Bc4+
Black continues the attack, forcing the king towards the centre. His only flight square now is f3.

 
16. Kf3 Qxf6+
Black misses a forced mate in two here with 16... Qd1+ 17. Ne2 Qxe2#, but continues his attack with Qf6+ trying to close his pieces in around the White King.

 
17. Bf4
White blocks the check from the Queen with his bishop.

 
17... Kh8
Black releases the pin on the knight by moving the King - he chooses to ignore both the Bishop and Rook, threatening mate in one.

 
18. Nd2
White tries to develop, attacking the LSB... he misses Black's checkmate.

 
18... Ne5#
And in one swift Knight move, rekraparker gets an unexpected win even though he is down by a Rook, Bishop and pawn. I want to congratulate rekraparker on effort in this game, trying relentlessly, even when it looked like White had got well on top of him. Thank you all for reading.
