Q to h7?

Yeah cool puzzle. First I thought about taking the knight but the other move is a lot better.

24... hxg6 ?? is bad because of 25. Rxe6!

yeah i played hxg6 with 3 minutes left on the clock (with 5 sec delay)

I didn't notice that it was black to move when I first posted.

I would go 24. ... h7-h5. Because in 25 the queen would be under threat from knight and would not be a good exchange for white.
