I take back. He could resign with a clear conscience here, but he plays on to mate. |

He throws in a check. OK stop. What would you do in this position? |

This is actually a mistake and gives him a chance to get off the hook. He could now play Rxe3+ 26. fxe3 Bg3+ 27. hxg3 Qxf6 and he is still in the game. I saw this after I played it, but kept my calm demeanour, and thankfully he didn't notice. |

I block all queen checks. Many better positions have been resigned. |

He moves out. I think Kc6 struggles on for longer, but it is hopeless. |
