11... Qd6
I manoeuvre.

 
12. Qd5
The queen returns to offer an exchange - I would not have played this.

12... Qxd5
The exchange is gladly accepted.

 
13. Bxd5 Nxh1
Here I had two options - Nxh1 and Bxb2, both trapping the rooks.

 
14. Nd2
Wisely letting the rook go free.

14... Bxg1
... But leaving the light loose - actually, after Ke2, this is a bit of a skewer, but I still win the h2 pawn.

 
15. Ke2
Exactly.

15... Nd4+
But now, the king hunt begins.

 
16. Kd3
King is advancing.

 
16... Nf2+
No more skewer for white!

 
17. Kc4
Advance again - I was scrounging for a mate at this time.

 
17... c6
I decided that 17 ... b5+ wouldn't be very good, so I decided to kick the bishop away.

18. Rxg1
He nabs my bishop.

 
18... b5+
Now that I have a more advanced connection, I play b5+/

 
19. Kc5
He advances again, rather than retreating to c3.

 
19... cxd5
I take the bishop.

 
20. exd5
PxP.

 
20... Bb7
The main aim here is to develop the rook to c8.

 
21. Kd6
He marches even further into my camp - this is getting dangerous - surely there is a mate somewhere - if you see one at this stage, please tell me in comments.

A check from me.
