  vampiero: Throughout the game both sides tried to keep their bishop pairs which is smart in this semi-open type of position, obviously shown with whites 17. Bh4

but its on move 30. when whit decides to trade it that the attack really startes with the Rook pinning the queen. Black doen'st have any choices because the spaces are blocked, and if he choses Qh4 instead of Bd7 then Whites Rb8+ Kf7 followed by Qf4+ winning Blacks rook

In the end, if Black plays 44. ...gxh6 then Qf7+ Kh8 Qh8#; 44. ...Kf8 then Qf7#; or if 44. ...Kh7 then Nf5+ Kg8 Rxf7+....if Bxf7 then Qxf7# or if ....Kh8 then Rh7#
