Qxd5 Be6 This move is simply forced. 16. Qb5 Bd7 The only chance was 16... a6 On the other hand the capture 16... Bxb3 runs into 17. Rxc6!

17. Rxc6!! The late Al Horowitz called this type of blow a "sockdolager." 17... Bd6 Black is desperate. On 17... bxc6 White has 18. Qc4 Be6 19. Qxc6+ Bd7 20. Nxe5! intending 21. Bxf7 mate. 18. Qd5! Be6 19. Rc8+! Qxc8 20. Qxd6 f6 The try 20... Qd7 is met by 21. Ba4! 21. Re1! I am playing for mate. 21... Bxb3

Neither 21... Kf7 22. Nxe5+ nor 21... fxg5 22. Nxe5 Bxb3 23. Nc4+ saves Black. 22. Rxe5+! Kf7 23. Re7+ Kg6 Black heads out into the wilderness rather than face 23... Kg8 24. axb3 Qc6 25.
