16. Bd2+
With the Black King deep into White's camp, a third sacrifice comes as no surprise. Here are the variations: 1) 16...Kxd2 17.Qe5 with 18.Qe1# or the cute 17...Bxf2+ 18.Rxf2#! 2) 16...Kd4 17.Rac1 trapping the King, followed by 18.Bc3# 3) 16...Kb2 prolongs the mate...

 
16... Kb2 17. Rfb1+ Kxa3 18. Qxd3+ Ka4 19. Rb4#
Checkmate! The win was right there in front of me. 8-) 1-0 The End
