19. Nxg7!! ....
A surprise move! If 19....Kxg7, then 20. Bf6+ Kg6, 21. Qf3 and mates eventually.
19. .... Bxc4
A piece to the good and a Queen-Rook pin, Black succumbs to temptation. But then comes another bombshell....
20. Bf6!!, Be7
If 20....Bxe2, then 21. Nf5+ Kg8, 22. Nh6 mate.
21. Qf3 Resigns
Black cannot prevent 22. Ne6+ Bxf6, 23. Qxf6 and mate at g7. If 21....Bxf6, 22. Qxf6 Nd7, 23. Rxd7 with the same result.
A fascinating game indeed.
