Hi folks, I would like you to take a look at this game for me, I ended up with a draw through perpetual check but this was not my aim, rather something I settled on. Game 2477086

Question? where is the forced mate after 24.f3 ?

It has to be there but I was feeling dim and couldn't find it🙁
In retrospect 20....Rh6 is better than the bishop sac I know but I thought I had seen the mate.

How about,
26...Ng4! 27.Qxh6 Qxh6
then 28.fxg4 loses to ..Qe3ch
and 28.Re1 loses to ..Qh2ch 29.Kf1 Qh1ch 30 Ke2 Re8ch

I believe 24 ... Nxg2 works quite well....

If 25 Kxg2 then mate. If the Queen stops protecting the d4 Knight then Qxd4+ followed by Qxa1. There are also some forced mates at ... Q-h2 depending on where the White queen moved.... No way for white to avoid huge material loss I don't think.
