18... Be6
Attacking the White queen.

 
19. Qa4
Attacking the vuernable a6 pawn.

 
19... bxc5
This allows the white knight to come to c5, but it's hard to defend the b6 pawn, due to a6 and b6 earlier played.

 
20. Nxc5 Nb8
Trying to defend the indefensible, but white decides to keep his c5 knight instead of winning a pawn.

 
21. Nde4
Placing both white knights on excellant squares.

 
21... Ra7

Putting the rook on the open file.

 
22... Bd7
Attacking whites' queen.

 
23. Qb3 Bb5
Trying to attack the isolated d pawn but nothign else can help the bishop attack. Better wad a5 trying to breake up white's queenside pawn mass.

 
24. Rc2

24... Kh8
Getting out of the pin, but black should try to activate his N on b8 before thinking of playing f5.

Still not activating his b8 knight, better was Nd7 challenging White's c5 knight.

White uses a tactic along the long diagonal to gain control of the c file.

 
26... Rxb7
If black doesn't take the knight white can either win the f7 pawn or play rc7 or c8. If black takes with his queen white takes on f6 and then on e8 due to the double attack on black's squeen and rook.

If Qxf6 ... Bxb7 and white wins the exchange.

 
28. Bxb7
Black runs out of time but after the continuation ... 28:Qxb7 29: Rc7 White wins the f7 pawn and has a near unstoppable mate on h8 or g7 after Qxf7.
