popescuag: 26...f6 27. Qd8 Kf7 28. Rd7+ Kg6 and as we know the king alone cannot fight against Q+R so the mate will soon follow.

popescuag: Actually the knight is not trapped. The problem is that Nxg3 is met by Bf6 and there is no way to stop Rd8#.

popescuag: What if black plays 25....Bxd5? Rxg7 doesn't seem possible anymore.

popescuag: why not 42....Rg8 trapping the queen? d8 is covered.

|
popescuag: I guess the last move is Rc8. The only way to prevent mate at c3 is to move the bishop on e2. Neither d1, f1 or d3 look promising for white.
