Unsound. After 21. Rcd2 White is better.

21... Kxf7 22. e5

Better 22. Rcd2, but White follows his original idea.

22... Nfd7 23. Qh5+ Kg8 24. Rd6 Bxd6 25. Bxe6+ Kh8 26. Bf5 Nf8

26... h6!27. exd6 Qxd6 is better, when White is simply a rook down for nothing.

27. Bxc8 Be7 28. Rc4?

28. Bf5 was the last chance.
