This is the best chance I've ever had for a big-time combination. Can you see it? I played Qd3 and was ground down like a puppy. I'll post the answer next week.
22. Qxe8 Rxe8 23.Rxe8+ Kh7 was as far as I got after 10 minutes (the game was G/60). The bishop was preventing the perpetual check with Nf8+ and Black would be threatening Qxc1#. The answer is
22. Qxe8 Rxe8 23.Rxe8+ Kh7 24.Rxc5!!
24...Qxc5 25.Nxf8+ Kh8 26.Nd7+ wins the queen
24...dxc5 25.Nf8+ Kh8 26.Ne6+ also wins the queen.
