11. Nd4
Clearing my d1 to h5 diagonal with power...threatening c6 Knight with no seeming back-up to do so. However....

 
11... h5
He saw the pin to his Queen in front of his King and decided to leave my offered Knight alone.

 
12. Nf4
I just bring him back to attack the exposed (too early) Queen.

12... Qh7
She hides away.

 
13. Bxh5+
I take another pawn and check at the same time.

 
13... Kd7
His King is on the run without a safe haven.

 
14. Qg4+
I ensure that the King continues to run someplace where I can get to him to checkmate.

 
14... f5
Merely a diversion but a good one to help the King last longer.

 
15. e6+
A check with my passed pawn will make the King on the run again.

15... Kd6
So he is running now to find shelter.

 
16. Nxf5+
Not much choice for Black with this move.

 
16... Kc5
Running....

 
17. a4
Trapping with my A rank pawn before diving in....

 
17... Kb6
Ensconcing King about to see the end about there....

 
18. Nd5+
A chase but the best I felt I could do with what I had to cage the King.

 
18... Kc5
I knew ahead there was only 3 moves the King could make with this. He chose this move which ends in checkmate.

 
19. Qc4#
And there it is.
