planet!} 16. gxh3 Qxh3 17. Nf1 {Of course, there was no direct mate. But
consider Black's compensation: the White King has no cover, black advances his
king side pawns, White's rook on a1 never gets out and White has to return the
extra piece. Best of all, Black has all the fun and play!} Rbe8 18. d4 f5 19.

White has to return the piece. If he plays something like 25.Bd2?! then Rg8-+ and
it will get ugly for White.}
