19.Rxe6!! fxe6 20.Ng7+:

<a)> 20...Kd7 21.Bxe6+ Kd6 22.Qf4#

<b)> 20...Kf7 21.Nxe6! with disastrous results

<c)> 20...Kf8 21.Nxe6+ and the Q falls

  bright1: I agree that this could be a good puzzle, however after

19. Rxe6 fxe6 20. Ng7+ Kf7

mate is forced by

21. Bxe6+ Kf8 22. Nxf5+ Ke8 23. Ng7#

or 22. ... Kf6 23. Bxf5 and again mate will follow
