He takes and at first glance white's position is falling apart. His king is wandering round the centre. However before playing my 22nd move I realised in the position I had a stunning counter-attack. |

But now I am threatening the mate still, and I am still on the pawn e5, so if he takes with check, I exchange queens, in to won ending. |
