  wwall: 20...Na6?? loses. Perhaps best is 20...Bxe6, since 21.Qd8+ Kf7 22.Qc7+ Ke8 23.Qd8+ Kf7 draws.

21.Qd6 threatens 22.Qf8 mate.

22.Rf1 threatens 23.Rf8 mate. If 22...Bf7, then 23.Bb5 mate. If 22...Nf6 or 22...Bf6, the 23.Qxe6+ leads to mate.

Instead of 23.Bb5+, White can play 23.Qxg6! Kd7 (23...Bxg6 24.Bb5 mate) 24.Rd1+ Kc7 25.Qd6+ Kc8 26.Qd8 mate

After 24.Qd7+ Kf8 (24...Ne7 25.Bc4+ Kg7 26.Qxe7+ Qf7 27.Qxf7 mate) 25.Rxf5+ Bf6 26.Bxf6 Nxf6 27.Qd6+ Kg7 28.Qe7+ Kh8 (28...Qf7 29.Rg5+ Kh6 30.Qxf7) 29.Rxf6
