20... h5
I think h6 was a better move, opening a secure space for his bishop and defending g5, which my queen and knight can now freely use.

 
21. gxh5 Bxh5 22. Qg5
Threatening Qxg7 ...

23. Qh6
Qh6!! I am now planing Ng5. If he takes the undefended knight...

my other knight comes right in!

 
24... Qxe5
f6 would have been better. However, it leads to 25. Rxg6 Kf7 26. Rg7 grabbing his queen after the king moves.

 
25. Rxg6+
Sacrificing the rook to open completely the black King. Checkmate is now possible in 6 moves.

 
25... fxg6 26. Qxg6+ Kh8 27. Qh6+
And he resigns. The game is over after 27 ... Kg8 28. Rg1 Bg2 29. Rxg2 Qg3 30. Rxg3 Kf7 and 31. Qg6 . In this game, I have been able to take advantage of the space my opponent gave me to launch a powerful attack on his king. The key to this attack was my powerful knight in d6, which ultimately led to his demise. So, hope you liked it. Feedback would be appreciated!
