18... Qc6
! Nice! The rook is pinned because of mate on g2.

 
19. e4
Giving the rook some extra support and blocking the diagonal for the black queen, but unfortunately 19... Rfd8 is pretty much winning now.

19... Bxf2+
Lucky for me my opponent didn't see the winning move! Black decides to give back the piece, but like a kami-kaze pilot the bishop at least grabs a pawn and exposes the white king some more.

 
20. Kxf2 Qc2+ 21. Rd2 Qc3
Black defends his bishop and attacks the rook on a1. He's a pawn behind in material.

 
22. Rb1 Rfd8 23. Qe2 Qf6 24. Qf3
The white queen is quite strong on her favourite diagonal of this game. (d1-h5)

 
24... Qh4+ 25. Qg3 Qxg3+ 26. hxg3
Though I was a pawn ahead I still decided to offer a draw, because in such an open position I didn't think it would've been enough for a win. I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did! Bye, Sarasani
