Solution & explanation
Main line
21... Qg2+ 22. Bxg2 hxg2+ 23. Kg1 Rh1#
Why it works
- Great move! queen to g2 keeps the pressure (#2).
- Well found: pawn to g2 (#1).
- Strong! rook to h1 is the sharp choice (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 3.
- If instead Bxg2, then hxg2+ and you stay on top.
