  aragorn69: Thx <Honza> for yet another great reference.

However, I did not see how White could win after 22.-Kxf7!? (giving the Queen to maintain the attack) 23.Nxe5+ Kg8.

The obvious move 24.h3? seems to lose to 24.-Rf8!. Though, verifying with my little computer (Gnu 5.0), it found that 25.Rd1! Rf2 26.Bh7+! Kf8 27.Qxf2 Bxf2 28.Rd8+ keeps a slight material edge, even if Black still has drawing chances.

In fact, the winning move (again found by my silicon friend) is 24.Bh7+!! because of 24.-Rxh7 25.Qg6+ Kh8 26.Nf7+ Rxf7 27.Qxf7
