22. Kc7
Not Kc5!? but Kc7? White is marching into my camp now. Not 22. ... Rc8?? 23. Kxb7.

I take the pawn, and now the king is stalemated. Only one check and it is gone.

My rook is attacked by the bishop - so I castle.

 
23... O-O 24. h4
[??] This leads to an unstoppable mate as far as I can see - perhaps Be7 could save it, but here you will find the magnificent mate.

 
24... Rab8
Rb8! - and there is no good move to defend against the threat of Rb7# - If you see one, please tell me. Even Kxd7 and Rb7 is still mate.

Sadly, the game is lost, but I have to say the rio1962 played extremely well, but the moral is, don't invade your opponent's comp with a king.

 
25... Rb7#
And mate. Well played rio1962, and thank you for watching. Please rate and make any necessary comments. @oodle3
