? a mistake, losing a piece. The discovered check does not really achieve anything.
[15...Nc6 is better.]
16.Kh2
[16.fxe5 c4+ 17.Bd4 with a winning advantage.]
16...Nc6 17.f5 Bc8 18.g4 Nd7 19.h4 Ba6 20.Qc2 Rab8 21.g5 a4 22.Bh3 Nd4 23.Nxd4 exd4+ 24.Kg2 b4
[24...Ne5 is strong.]
25.f6 with a discovered attack on the Knight, but Black has a sudden attack.
[25.axb4]
25...Bc7



! threatening Qd6, Ne5 is also strong.
[25...Ne5 26.Nc4 axb3 27.Qxb3 Nxc4 28.dxc4 Rxe4 with advantage]
26.Bxd7 Qd6 27.Rg1 ? This loses.
[27.Rf3 is safest.]
27...Qg3+ 28.Kf1 Bxd3+ winning the Queen.
29.Qxd3 Qxd3+ 30.Ke1 Qe3+ 31.Kd1
[31.Kf1 Qxd2]
31...d3 ? Black should simply take the Rook instead.
[31...Qxg1+ wins]
32.Re1 Qg3 33.Bf5 g6 34.Bd7 Bf4 35.Bb5
[35.Bc1 Black has mate in 6.
35...Rxe4 36.Rxe4 Be3 37.Rxe3
(37.Bh3 Qxh3 38.Rf4 Bxf4 39.Ke1 Qg2 40.bxa4 Qe2#)
37...Qxe3 38.Bg4 Qg1+ 39.Nf1 Qxg4+ 40.Kd2 Qe2#]
35...Rbd8



unnecessary, Black can force mate several ways.
[35...Rxe4 36.Rxe4 Qg4+ 37.Ke1 Bg3+ 38.Kf1 Qh3+ 39.Kg1 Qh2+ 40.Kf1 Qf2#]
[35...Qg2 36.Bc1 Qg4+ 37.Nf3 Qxf3+ 38.Re2 Qxe2#]
[35...Bxd2 36.Kxd2 Qf2+ 37.Kd1
(37.Kxd3 Red8+ 38.Kc4 (38.Bd7 Rxd7+ 39.Kc4 Qc2+ 40.Bc3 Qxc3#) 38...Qc2+ 39.Bc3 Qxc3#)
37...Qc2#]
36.bxa4 Qf2 There's no defence to mate.
[36...Rxe4 37.Rxe4 Qg4+ 38.Ke1 Bg3+ 39.Kf1 Qh3+ 40.Kg1 Qh2+ 41.Kf1 Qf2#]
37.Re2 ??
[37.Bc1 also loses quickly
37...Rxe4 38.Rxe4 Qg1+ 39.Re1 Qg4+ 40.Nf3 Qxf3+ 41.Re2 Qxe2#]
37...Qxe2+ 38.Kc1 Qe1#
