This is my first ever submission to the Game of the Month contest and I'm quite happy with it.
It is a short miniature where I am particularly proud of my 17th move. I believe it was one of my most beautiful moves that I ever played.

The kingside attack starts with 13.Ng5, I'm threatening mate (Qxh7#). Black played the natural-looking h6 but then came 14.Rxf5!, the first sacrifice of the game. The game followed with exf5, 15.Qxg6! hxg5 16.Bxg5 and then came 16...Qe8

Can you guess what Black is hoping for after Bf6?
Well. Black wants to meet Bf6?? with Qe3+! and Qh6 where Black is slightly better and has everything under control.

Can you guess White's brilliant 17th move?

17.Ne4!!

Beautiful interference. The white knight is preventing the queen from reaching the e3 square and is heading for the f6 square.
For example, fxe4 allows Bf6 with mate in one to follow.

Black has to give up his queen at this point but he went for 17...Kh8 which allows White to mate in six moves.
I would love to receive feedback and comments on it!
