Trapped!! In a very unusual way; like a pure mate of the queen (apart from e1).

Dec-06-14  Knight13: 24... Bb8 is practically forced: 24... Bd4 25. Re4 drops the Bishop. 23... Rad8 was the wrong Rook, as proven by White. 20... c5? drops a pawn one way or the other (unless Black wants to lose the Bishop after 22... Rfd8 23. a3 or 22... d4 23. a3, 23... Qc4 24. Qxc4 bxc4 25. Nxc5).
