19.Rxc6! Qxc6

[19...Rxd3!? was actually played. It looks kind of good in a blitz game, but there are several ways for white to meet it, among them just taking the queen with check. The game finished 20.Rc7+!? Kb8 21.Qxd3 Qxc7 22.Qd8+ Kb7 23.Qxc7+ Ka6 24.Qc6+ Ka5 and black resigned.]

20.Be4

And the queen drops. 1-0, pawnn - ceviche, ICC 3 2, 2001
