Correction: Qe6+ also wins. In my haste I overlooked Qe6+ is also mate in a few
moves. Still, after going over the game, I do not see anything extroadinary that
indicates White was cheating. I believe that Black didn't play all that great:
That Bishop sacrifice had nothing behind it and White was able to sac a Knight,
and then a beautiful Rook captures Bishop that isn't hard to see at all.
If anything, I wonder about Black's rating being so high? Just my opinion, of
course.
