Believe it -- the great mate finder, The King, says that it is true. 29...Nxd1 leads to a Mate in 15 (or better) starting with 30.Nf5, and it only takes The King 10 seconds to say so.

The first move leads to a Mate in 5 (as you found), but the latter makes you have to find 31.Ka1! (which you did in your analysis below), because 31.Kb2 would lose. Although I suspect that you would have found it OTB -- you're obviously pretty good! >30... Nxc3+ 31. Ka1 f6 32. Rh8+ Kf7 33. Rxf8+ Rxf8 34. Qh1 is too deep. > >Cheers >Mihaly Great game! jm
