The game is not worthy - but since you asked and I do save ALL my wins ..and
none of my losses ;>) -- here it is...

f4 was played with the though of playing f5 against 5.e5 ..remember I am
playing a computer

22. ... h6
{Thank YOU again!}
23. Qe1 Nc2 24. Qf2
{The whole point of me moving my queen 3 turns in a row is that I wanted her to
be in position to fly right to the h file after the Bishop sac. With the closed
position, I'm trying to get my pieces on the best squares for the continuation
after the sac. I could have played these moves better. Mobility is key in
obtaining the quick knockout against the computer. A human will recognize what
you are trying to do and play better against it- the computer has no clue and
it's not expecting the sac at all.

Inexact play on my part now has me in a do or possibly die situation with the B
sac. The computer is chasing my B down and will get counter play on the Q side
after he is gone. So I must sac now. I did not expect to mate in 7 moves from
here.

A no brainer - although I did not see this position when I play Bxh6. For
humans, Bxh6 is a very natual looking sac even without precisely calculationg
all variations}
