22... Nd7 23. Qh7+
Now the g7-pawn is very weak. Once I get my rook to the g-file Black has a hard time defending.

 
23... Kf7 24. Rdg1
Threatening Nd5 with Qxg7# to follow

 
24... Rg8
This defends g7, but now Black's rook is out of play, and soon my pieces will reach maximum attacking potential.

 
25. Nh8+ Kf8
The only move that doesn't lose material or get mated

 
26. Rh6
Now to capitalize on the g7-weakness, I will double my rooks on the g-file and attack the pawn until Black can no longer defend, and obviously Black cannot take my rook.

 
26... Qe8
Ne8 is another defensive try. Qe8 doesn't appear to do much.

 
27. Rhg6 Qe7
Black's queen has wasted a tempo. Black could've reached this exact same position but with a knight on e8. I'm not sure if Black could've recovered if he hadn't wasted this tempo, but either way, my plan is still the same, I will play e4 and f5 to open the dark diagonal so that my bishop can get to h6 to join the attack

 
28. f5
A clearance sacrifice

 
28... Nxf5 29. e4 dxe4 30. dxe4
Black's knight is kicked away from defending h6, so my bishop comes in

 
30... Nd6 31. Bh6 Ne8
It seems like Black has defended g7......

 
32. Rg6xg7
Now there is trouble because of the pin on whatever piece Black takes my rook with

 
32... Rxg7 33. Ng6+
I force Black to blockade the queen's defense of g7 with his king

 
33... Kf7 34. Bxg7
Now Black's queen is under attack, and I have regained my piece. Black is lost, after he moves his queen his king will perish from the checks

 
34... Qd8 35. Bh8+ Ng7 36. Ne5+
I think this is the easiest way to win

 
36... fxe5 37. Rxg7+ Ke8
If Kf6 then I have many mates to choose from Rg8# Qg6# Rg6# Qh6# or Qh4#

 
38. Qg6+ Kf8 39. Qf7#
