Most Formidable Fortress

For me this is a game of
Most Formidable Fortress
Formidable, maybe, but not very effective. Overprotecting many squares when you have one accessible hole is not great zh defense. Well played to make your way in.

What about 26. Nxf8 ? Takes a piece, threatens to win a free queen, and if QxQ, Nxg6+ and R@h8#.

Also 20. Bxd4 looks devastating. If RxN, 21. N@h6+ (gxh R@h8#) Kh8 Nxf7+ Kg8 R@h8# uh, so crushing, looks like #3.
