18... Rxe3

A decent move, but perhaps not the best. Also possible was 18...Bxe3+ 19.Kb1. I noticed after that 19...Qf6 intending a mating threat with Bc1, Qxb2 would have taken the White Queen. |

19. Qg2
|
White threatens mate with Qxg7, but the threat is parried and another piece brought into the action with Qf6. |

|
19... Qf6 20. Rde1
|
White hopes to exchange, but there is no reason to oblige when all the pieces are coordinating together. |

|

|
|
20... Bxf3 21. Qg3 Rae8
|
Now, with doubling the rooks, every piece is involved in the attack. |

22. Kd2

Technically a mistake, but there's really nothing for white at this point anyway - the threat was to take the rooks off the board and be a bishop pair ahead for an easy win. |

22... Bb4+ 23. c3
|
If 23. Kc1 then 23...Rxe1+ 24.Rxe1 Rxe1+ 25. Qxe1+ Bxe1 |

|

|
|
23... Bxc3+
|
If 24.bxc3 Qxc3#. If 24.Kc1 Bxb2+ 25.Kc2 Qxc3+ (25.Kb1 Be4#) 26.Kb1 Be4# |

|

|
|
24. Kc2
|
Mate is coming - it's just a matter of which one. |

|
| |
|
|
24... Be4+
|
If 25.Kc1 Bxb2+ 26.Kd1 Qd4#. If 25.Kb3 Qb6+ 26.Ka4 Qb4# |

|
| |
|
|
25. Kd1 Qd4+ 26. Kc1 Bxb2#
