  tpstar: 22 ... Bxf3 23. Rxd6 is a mate threat, then 23 ... Rxd6 24. cxd6 wins a piece, or 23 ... Rde8 24. Nxf3 covers White's weak back rank.

Nice tactical vision for a blindfold game.

  tpstar: Speaking of weak back rank, 22 ... Qc7 23. Qxb7! is cute (23 ... Rxd1+ 24. Rxd1 Qxb7? 25. Rd8+ mates) but 23 ... Rxd1+ 24. Rxd1 Qxe5 instead holds the balance for Black, since after 25. Rd8+ Re8 White doesn't have time for 26. Qc8?? due to 26 ... Qe1# and White's weak back rank is fatal.
