It's too late.

 
19. g6 f6
He keeps the g file closed, but now I blast open the center.

 
20. exf6+ Ndxf6 21. d5
!?!?! This could backfire in a slow game, but it should work in blitz! In a slow game I would probably play 21. 0-0-0

 
21... cxd5 22. cxd5 Qxd5
Probably should have taken with the knight.

! doubling on the d-file with tempo. Unfortunately my opponent timed-out here. If it was over-the board blitz, I would have offered to continue. 1-0
