26... Bxg6
As promised. Now, Nxg6 loses to Qg2#. Black threatens Bxe4 leading to a forced mate, and, among other threats, the white Nh4 is hanging. Rce1 is an option, but is there a way to survive Rxe4 in response?

 
27. Rcf1
This move does nothing to address the threat of Bxe4, and so the game is almost over...

 
27... Bxe4+
And white mercifully resigns. The finish is either 28. Nf3 Bxf3# or 28. Ng2 Qxg2#. 0-1 How lucky was I to pull this one out? Hopefully you've learned something about counterattacking, and thanks to Remybear for a hard-fought game!
