22... Rxg1+ 23. Rxg1 Rg8 24. Rxg8+ Kxg8
This is the game losing blunder. It deserves a big fat ?. 24...Nxg8 doesn't lose a knight after 25 Qg5.

 
25. Qg5+
The whole point of the sacrifice has been achieved even though it became a trade!

 
25... Bg6 26. fxg6 Nfxe4
Trying to save the knight but missing the deadly gxf7 !

 
27. gxf7+ Kf8 28. Qg8+
Black saw no need to continue as I would have two queens and forced mate with 28...Ke7 29 f8=Q#. That would have been a cool ending.
