Yes I did realise that about two seconds after I logged out and couldn't be bothered to go back in!
I must stop trying to solve puzzles on the screen in stead of setting up a board - its the only way I can do it!

Not quite.After 24.Kh2 Bxg3+ 25.Qxg3 white rather gains a bishop than loses the queen.
The only way to save the bishop is to give up two important pawns, say 24...h5 25.Qxh5 Be5 26.Qxf7+ Kh8 etc.But here white's attacking position will soon bring black down.

Then simply 24.Kh2
and black can write off his pinned Bf4.

Unless I've completely missed something, this is Black to play and lose. How does White proceed if Black plays Rf8 instead of gh?
