nice checkmate?

I post this not because it's a particularly good game, but instead because I quite liked the final position (i'm black) ...

1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. O-O Nf6 6. Nc3 Bf5 7. Ne5 Qd6 8. Bf4 Qb4 9. Nxc6 bxc6 10. Bxc7 O-O 11. Rb1 Ne4 12. Nxe4 Bxe4 13. c3 Qb7 14. Bxe4 Qxc7 15. Bg2 e6 16. e4 Rad8 17. e5 Rb8 18. b3 a5 19. a4 Rb7 20. c4 Rb4 21. cxd5 cxd5 22. Rc1 Qb8 23. Rc3 Qb7 24. Qc2 Rb8 25. Rb1 Bh6 26. f4 Rxd4 27. Rc1 Qb6 28. Rc8+ Kg7 29. Rxb8 Rd1# 0-1

sorry - can't post the position, as getting the FEN is proving too difficult :-(

I guess this is a hard mate to spot as white, I am sure he(your opponent) was surpirsed by this checkmate.
