21. gxf7+
He flicks in this little intermezzo.

 
21... Kxf7
I recapture.

 
22. f4
This seems natural to keep the queens on, but SF prefers Bxd6

22... Qg7
SF prefers Qg4.

 
23. e5
SF agrees this is best.

 
23... dxe5
And this also.

 
24. fxe5
Opening up the position further, and threatening e6.

24... Bxe5
So I take it.

 
25. Rdf1+
He throws in a check.

 
25... Kg6
Played to protect g6, but there is a flaw I had not seen. SF prefers Kg8

26. Bxe5
He takes.

 
26... Rxe5
I take back. SF prefers taking with the knight, with advantage to black. SF now gives the position as equal.
