15... Bxf4 16. g3 Bh6 17. f4
A move that opens new lines, wich is good for black, but leaves the black Bishop in h6 inactive.

 
17... Rc8
A move that prepares a discovered atack in the queen.

 
18. O-O-O
White castles in the queenside - but he's already two minor pieces down.

 
18... Bg4
A move that forces the exchange.

 
19. Qb5
A weak move. White loses time in threatening a pawn.

 
19... Bxe2 20. Nxe2 Rxe2
Black keeps winning material. Instead of eating pawns, White should have focused in defense, with 19. Re1.

 
21. Rd2
White proposes one rook exchange, wich is a terrible move, because Black has a huge material lead.

 
21... Rxd2 22. Kxd2
The white King is now exposed.

 
22... Bf8
The black bishop suddenly becomes active again.

 
23. c3 dxc3+ 24. bxc3
The white king protects himself from the Bishop of the dark squares.

 
24... Ne4+
A great move ! White can't smash the Knight because his d-pawn is pinned by the Queen.

 
25. Ke2
A gigantic blunder, but White hasn't got much choice. At this point, the game is lost for White.

 
25... Nxc3+
A nice Royal Fork that wins the white queen.

 
26. Kd2 Nxb5 27. Rb1 Na3 28. Rxb7 Nc4+ 29. Kc3 Qd4+ 30. Kb3 Nc6a5+
Another fork that kills even the wildest dreams of White.

 
31. Ka4 Nxb7 32. Kb5 Na3+ 33. Ka6
A forced move.

 
33... Qb6#
A somewhat unpretty checkmate.
