Solution.

20.Bh6+! Kxh6 [ 20...Kh8 21.Rh3 and mate next.] 21.Rh3+ Kg5 [ 21...Kg7 22.Rh7
mate] 22.Rh5+ Kf4 23.Kf2! 23...Rg8 24.g3+ Rxg3 25.hxg3 mate.


I'll look for mates, that even our computers won't solve, at least not easily,
if not at all, and post them in the future.

Naturally, only if people are interested. I suspect there are very strong
players at this site who will enjoy the challenge;-)
