22. Qh5 {This type of positions are hard for computers and amateurs to
understand. It seems that Black is solid and he will be able to gradually
increase the pressure on the c-file and at the same time he will hold on to
his kingside with a bishop on f8. Yet this is many times not the case, a swift
sacrifice many times changes the situation.} Kg8 23. Bxh6 $1 {
A bolt from the blue.} gxh6 24. Ng4 $1 {The accuracte follow up.} Bf8 {
It seems that this should defend. After all the h6 pawn cannot be taken.} 25.
Re3 $1 {This is the point of the combination; surprisingly the f7 pawn is
impossible to defend and the simple threat of Rf3 is unstoppable.} (25. Nxh6+

time to increase the pressure and first defends d4.} Qb6 $2 (26... Rc2 {
was the last chance to create some counterplay.} 27. Rf3 Qe2 28. Qxf7+ Kh8 {
and it looks like Black should be checkmated soon, but it is not yet so easy.})
