  fredthebear: Do not open a line if thy pieces will not control it!

20...fxe4? opens the f-file, and it's White that immediately takes advantage of the fresh space. After 21.Bg4, Black's best try to plug the leak was 21...Nf5, but even that is suspect. Instead Black played the retreat 21...Qg8 and is all but lost.

After 23...Kh6 the intermezzo 24.Qg5+ Kg7 allows the capture of the Black knight with check 25.QxNe7+. The heavy pieces will come off the board next, leaving White with the extra knight. Black's extra pawn should not be too difficult to round up.
