18. Bxe6 fxe6 19. Qxb4+ Kf7 20. Ng5+
the white pieces start moving in for the kill, black needs to be careful here...

 
20... Kg8
?! not a good square for the king, e8 looks better although it is quite unnatural to centralise the kingin this situation!

 
21. Qe7
now white has mating threats that need to be dealt with

 
21... Nxb6
?? now white can force a standard mate.

 
22. Qxe6+ Kh8 23. Nf7+
1-0 the finish is a standard smothered mate, 23...Kg8 24.Nh6 Kh8 25.Qg8! Rxg8 26.Nf7#
