... the g pawn moves forward disrupting the queen yet again and starting to create a mating net. Black must of course be careful because his king side is open. But white is busy dealing with all the threats so cannot yet exploit this vulnerability.
Capturing f pawn does not help. After 24.fxg4 fxg4+ creates a discovered check from the f8 rook and attacks the queen which falls next move. |

The queen moves to one of the few safe squares available. She looks menacing but has very little backup. Blacks dark square bishop covers the most important dark squares around my king and the h7 pawn covers g6. So black's King is still safe despite being in the open. |
