cunningly laid trap

the trap lies in the fact that white's last move was Bxh3, accepting the bishop. Ten points for telling me where this puzzle is from.

King side gets weak after the bisop is gone. Queen and two knights are toughCool

I saw a very similar attack to this in a Bronstein game recently, however, I don't think anyone good enough to play Bronstein would play Bxh3 in the first place. My guess is that it's one of your games, a sweet attack indeed.

I really do wish it was my game. I'll give you a clue; in the game, the bishop  was not accepted, going back and forth from ...Bh3,Bf3,Bg4,Bf2,Bh3,Bf3, Bg4 and Bh1, narrowly avoidig a draw. The game itself culminates in the deepest move order that I'm aware of. however, this is just a sideline.
