This was a blitz game I just played that ended with a nice combination. I will just post the puzzle ending!

Black should of moved the rook so his King would have somewhere to go after that check. Nice job on the game.

That would have been better that what black did, but after 1. Bxh7+ Kxh7 2. Qh5+ Kg8 3. Ng5 Re8, white can win by 4. Qxf7+ Kh8 5. Qh5+ Kg8 6. Qh7+ Kf8 7. Qh8+ Ke7 8. Qxg7#

I think black can only hang on after 1. Bxh7+ Kxh7 2. Qh5+ Kg8 3. Ng5 Qxg5 4. Qxg5 Nxd4, giving up his queen and down by ~3 pawns of material and then resign if playing someone good.
