17. Nf3 was the best move of this game. ๐
Black Knight cannot take Bishop on g4 (17... Nxg4) due to 18. Bxd6 with 19. Bxf8 after Queen escape.
On the other hand 17... Nxf3 18. Bxf3 Bxf3 19. Qxf3 leads to an endgame with a large advantage for White.
And the most important - a clever trap ๐ .
My opponent answered with 17... Rg8. In response, I prepared an effective Queen sacrifice.
18. Qxd6 has been marked as brilliant
. Here black resigned although continuation was pretty interesting too.
18... Nxf3 19. Bxf3! Qxd6 20. Bxd6 Bxf3 And it is equal for a while. 21. Be5! Rg7 22. Bxg7 Kxg7 23. gxf3
And White stays with the Rook more. 























. But I have found funny line to even loose it ๐ ๐ณ๏ธ Just attached it as animated GIF ๐
