That was pretty farsighted--seeing that the rook sack would make the opposing K practically helpless. Nice job.

I think 17. Rh7 with 18. Rdh1 would have won. What you moved also was enough for a win. Nice sacrifice, even though it is a bit obvious.


Yeah, you're right. I missed it (that's why I prefer simpliest moves!).
17 Rh7 f6 18 Bg6 and black has a lot of problems (18 Rdh1 Kf7)
17 Rh7 Nf6 18 Rxg7+ and then mate
17 Rh7 f5 18 Rdh1 ...

After looking over the board I found that Black did have a way out.
18b-Kf8, 19w-Qh7, 19b-Ne7. Black might lose his knight, but Black can escape the checkmate and will have a material advantage.
