15. Nh4
which he doesn't take advantage of...

 
15... h5
stops the annoying Qh5 , but taking the bishop was still better

 
16. Ng6 Rg8
ok, but leaves Qxh5 as an option for him

 
17. Be2
probably better than Qxh5

 
17... Rxg6
best

 
18. Bxh5
pinning the rook, only one way to save it

 
18... Be6
and that's not it, 18...Kf7 protects the rook, so that even if he takes, you at least get the bishop

 
19. Bxg6+
ouch...

 
19... Kf8
19...Kd7 was safer, now his queen comes in, and your king is uncomfortably placed on the a3 bishop's diagonal

 
20. Qh5 Rc8 21. d4
if 21. b5 , 21...c5 holds things together, but being down a rook and a pawn is never a good sign

 
21... a5
now you're just asking for more trouble

 
22. bxa5+ Kg7
walks into mate... but not a whole lot else you could do

 
23. Qh7#
