  Phony Benoni: Timing is everything. After the innocent <22.e3>:

Black came up with a cute idea with <22...dxe3>. After 23.Qg4 exf2+ and 24...Rxe1, Black has won the exchange.

However, after <23.Qxg4> there was that little matter of mate on g7, but Black had that covered. (I hope he did plan this. It's possible he missed that his knight was handing, and this was all desperation.)

There followed <23...f5 24.Qg5 h6 25.Qg6> and Black was home free since his plan would work after 25...Qxg6 26.Nxg6 exf2+. However, he saw no harm in reversing the moves with <25...exf2+ 26.Kxf2 Qxg6>.

Alas, with the e-file prematurely opened, White could play <27.Rxe7!> The queen is still attacked, and cannot protect the threatened rook. Black chose a pretty bad continuation, but it was over anyway.
