21. Nf6+
21. Nf6 ! , the fourth and the last sacrifice. At this stage, I had already planned the checkmate, and so my goal was to move the black rook from protecting g7.

21... Rxf6
No other moves left - black must accept.

 
22. Rg1+
Using the king's weakness to full potential. 22. ...Qg7 can not be played now. 22. ...Rg6 would have slowed the checkmate down to 6 moves.

 
22... Kf7 23. Qh7+
23. ...Qg7 now leads to 24. Rxg7 Ke8, 25. Rg8 Bf8 and 26. Qxd7.

 
23... Ke8 24. Qxd7#
The finishing touch. Two of my rooks on d1 and g1 are completely devastating. Having only one pawn advantage, white are dominant. Although black have made plenty of mistakes, this game's final is quite good looking.
