It was very exciting to see this checkmate combination during the game

First I'll give you the end result of what I calculated.

Looking back at this : What I also like is that white captures three king side pawns of black in three white moves.
After that the King is naked and the checkmate is done by the white knight and two bishops.

Here's the full game starting with 17.Nb5
If black had captured on b5 the line would go like : 17...Nd4xb5 18.Qxh6+! (check!) gxh6 19.Nxf7+ (double check) Kg8. 20.Nxh6# checkmate.
