I think 22. Bd3 should do the trick. If 22...Be4, then 23. Qxb8#
Try again, its well known tactic.
Fun! I haven't had that come up in a real game. But I recognize the pattern: either boring traditional or more likely smothered, depending on the subsequent king move.

22. Bd3 is white's move instead of 22. Ka1. I guess #2 meant white could have resolved black's tactic with a correct play.

What a nice checkmate!!!
#6 Poor king 😭😭😭
@BlindfoldedNewbie : You should play Qd3 in move 16 so if he had eaten your bishop, you 'd have eaten the rook and would have done a checkmate.
Thanks for the feedback @DEFAULT08
