@allmight87 On 21...Qe8 22.Nde4 Qg6 and black has no problems whatsoever.
On 22...Qg6 23 Nxf6 if Qxh6 24 Nf7++, the other line is 23... Bxf6 24 Qxg6 and probably it´s draw
@allmight87 We both agree that the best line of play is 21...Qe8 22.Nde4 Qg6 23.Nxf6 Bxf6 (forced) 24.Qxg6 Rxg6 25.Ne6 with a draw as the most likely result. You also mentioned that if 23.Qxh6 then 24.Nf7+ is checkmate. It is also true that black could never play 23...Qxf6?? because 24.Qxh7! is checkmate! Therefore, the original position form move 21.Ng5 is probably a draw with best play.
yep, I agree too, if black plays best moves it´s at least draw.
From the above analysis it appears that 21...Qe8 22.Nde4 leads to a draw. However, I think that it might be possible for white to maintain some sort of minimal advantage with 22.f4!? Bf8 23.Qh4.
People so you give lines after 21...Qe8 which might or might not lead to a draw. But what has white after 21...Qf8? This looks like a black win.
