21... Nf2+
The quickest finish. Fritz says this leads to mate in 6, as opposed to Ng3 which apparently is mate in 8

 
22. Kh2
Forced, unless white wants to give up queen for knight. What would you play now?

22... Nxh3
I played this, and white resigned, rather spoiling my fun! I was rather hoping for 23. gxh3 Rf2+ 24. Qxf2 Qxf2+ 25. Kh1 Ne5 forcing mate. Interestingly I missed that black could have played 23. Ne5!! immediately forcing mate a lot quicker. Fritz pointed it out to me! Many thanks for reading. Please leave a comment or two and rate the annotation on the star system, to let me know how I am getting on. Until next time dear reader!
