18. Qxg4
Expecting to have some compensation after qxg4 Bxf3. He would have a rook and two pieces for the queen and a pawn, albeit with his king exposed and some development difficulties. Qxg4 should be good for black but when you see a good move, look for a better one!

18... Nd4+ 19. Kd3 Qxg4
and now the game is firmly in black's pocket.

 
20. Rae1
Trying to bring in defenses for the king.

 
20... Bh6
I'm pleased with this move. I figured that black would want to run away via d2 and c1, so the bishop move cuts off this possibility. If he plays 21. c3 I have 21...qh3+ which forces 22. f3. After that the dark squares will be fatally weak. Here, my opponent resigned.
