Blitz game with puzzle.

I played this game yesterday and as usual managed to lose a very strong position.

This is my first attempt at annotation so be kind. There is no computer analysis because i own a PII 350 MHz desktop, i can almost do the analysis faster in my head...

[Event "FICS rated blitz game"]
[Site "FICS, San Jose, California USA"]
[Date "2007.11.29"]
[Time "21:47:25"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Marssan"]
[Black "MRZWISCHENZUG"]
[WhiteElo "1342"]
[BlackElo "1358"]
[TimeControl "300+12"]
[Mode "ICS"]
[Result "0-1"]

1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 Bb4
4. a3 Bxc3+ {A variation i like to play, because if c5 is not played soon the pawns are almost guaranteed to become undoubled}
5. bxc3 b6
6. Nf3 Nc6
7. Qc2 {setting up e4} Ba6 {i'm not sure why but i think this is a bad move}
8. e4 O-O
9. Bg5 h6
10. Bh4 g5
11. Nxg5?! {certainly not sound but in blitz it often works} hxg5
12. Bxg5 e5
13. dxe5 Nxe5
14. f4 Nxc4
15. Bxc4 Bxc4
16. e5 Qe7
17. Bxf6 Qc5 {A strong position for white i think}
18. Qf5?? {It only takes 1 mistake} Qe3+
19. Kd1 Bb3+ {Queen is lost next move} 0-1

OK here is the puzzle.

Say i kept it together and played 18. Qe4 a far stronger move and black plays 18...Qd5 attempting to trade queens. 19. Qd3 no trade thanks, 19...Qd3 come on trade em buddy. We get this position.





Is there a crushing win for white?

Qg3+ ...black queen takes....h pawn recaptures and you have a mate..

Rh8 follows.

If Qg3+ Qg6 and as the Black queen can interpose on g6 and h7, I do not think that there is an immediate win for white.
