Impervious to engines, that is.  Here's a tip o' the hat to good old fashioned human sagacity.  This is one of the best OTB combinations I think I've ever seen. 

Note: In the actual game black resigned at move 26 when it was clear he was doomed.  I've taken the liberty of adding one possible continuation but it's very likely that I've overlooked a more efficient win.  If you find an improvement at move 27 or later, please share it!

If 26...fxg4 then 27.Qh4! Bg7 28.Qh7+ Kf8 29.e6 Ne5 (29...Nc5 30.e7#) 30.Ba3+ and black is fatally wounded.  There are a few variations under Move List but this wasn't one of them.  I think it was probably the threat of 27.Qh4 (27.e6!? looks dangerous too) that led black to resign but that's just a guess.

The engines shouldn't feel too bad -- it was impervious to me as well.
