20... Nd6 21. Qc2
Another piece on the c-file! It seems so simple doesn't it? Sometimes I wish chess were always this easy, then I could actually be good at it....

 
21... f6
Another weakness. My coach used to say that every pawn move is like giving away a hundred dollar bill. It is fine giving a hundred dollar bill if you are buying something very valuable. But, if you are just throwing them away that is no good at all (unless you are Bill Gates I guess) ! So, be careful when you make pawns moves. They can be very good, but they always create a weakness. Pawns can never return, or guard the space left behind. The key is to strive to take the space left behind.

 
22. e5
I think this may actually win by force, though I haven't checked all the lines. Do you see what f6 left behind? The defense of the g6 pawn!

 
22... Nf7
Can you guess my move? I think Mate is forced here. ( you like how definite I am, I know all you readers will check the analysis and comment if I am right... )

The space left behind by f6.

 
23... hxg6 24. Qxg6+
Now it is definitely forced mate.

 
24... Kh8 25. exf6 Rg8 26. Qh5+ Nh6 27. Qxh6#
I hope you enjoyed the game.
