11. Qxd3
Qxd3?? pxd3 or even hxg4 would be better.

 
11... Nxf2
Nxf2 - the N is in the heart of the defense.

 
12. Qe2
Qe2 - as it was attacked.

 
12... Nxe4+
Nxe4 . Discovered check, winning the pawn and also allowing the N to move to better squares later.

 
13. Kh2
Kh2. Only move.

 
13... Bd6+
Bd6 ; Qd6 was probably better, as it could then come in at g3.

 
14. g3
g3 - to prevent the loss of a Q.

 
14... Nxg3
Nxg3, a fork, and later a discovered check.

 
15. Qd3
The Q was attacked.

 
15... Nxf1+
Nxf1 . Double check; the king must move.

 
16. Kh1
Kh1. Kg2 may have been better, as it stops the Q coming in.

 
16... Qf2
Qf2! Threatening mate in 1, and with a good attack.

 
17. Be3
This did nothing. The best line was Qxd6, Ng3 , Qxg3, Qxg3. Black has won by this point.

 
17... Ng3#
A quick end to the attack. Checkmate.
