in White's favour;

Although Black is a queen up, he must still play very carefully because the minor pieces around the Black king have numerous
mating threats. 17.Bxh7+ [ 17.Bd5+ Kh8 18.Ng6#] 17...Kf7 [ 17...Kh8 18.Ng6#] 18.Rg1 Even though I was a queen up, I was not
100% sure that there had not been compensation for White. I felt that the Black king could escape, but there were plenty of
practical pitfalls. After Rg1 I thought I could breathe a little more easily. [ 18.Bg6+ Kf6 19.Ncd5+ Kg5 20.Rh5#]
18...Nf2+ 19.Kc1 Bxf4 20.Bxf4 Qh4 21.Bg6+ Kg8 22.Bg3 Qg5+ 23.Kb1 Nf3 Now I've seen a smothered mate and white can only stop
it by losing lots more material. 24.Bxf2 Nd2+ 25.Kc1 Nb3+ 26.Kb1 Qc1+ White resigned at this point 27.Rxc1 Nd2#
