    Find the Best Move

    I reached the following position in an online game the other day and found a nice win for white: 


    Highlight for solution: 
    22. Bxc7+ Kxc7 
    If 22... Ka8 23. Nxf5 Qe8 24. e7 wins material 
    22... Kc8 23. d6 Qf6 24. Bxd8 followed by 25.e7 
    23. d6+ Black gave up 
    If 23...Qxd6 (23... Kxd6 24. Ncb5+ Kc5 25. Re5+ Bd5 26. Qa3+ Kxc4 27. Qc3 mate) 24. Ndb5+ wins the Q.
