I believe that 16.Rg2-g6 is an error and it is possible that both sides had
better moves earlier

16.Ba3+ suggested by Movei seems to mate faster

possible computer line when the last moves were suggested by yace:

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "1-0"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "rnbqkbnr/qqqqqqqq/8/8/8/8/QQQQQQQQ/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"]
[PlyCount "63"]
