Solution:
The attack went this way: 15.Nxf7+ Nxf7 16.Nxg6+ Kg8 17.Ne7+ Kh8 18.Rxf7 Be6 19.Rxg7 Kxg7 20.Bxh6+ Black Resigns. This would be the really cool finish:20...Nxh6 21.Qg5+ Kf7 22.Bg6+ Kg7 23.Be8+ Kh7 24.Qg6+ Kh8 25.Qxh6# You should play through this game several times and take special note of the destruction of the castled king’s pawn protection using sacrifices.
