Rybka finds a forced mate in 4 moves after 25. Kg8-h8. The line, as played, takes a lot longer against perfect play because villain can "defend" the mate threat from the knight with 26... Bg6 (declining the sac). Obviously this is pretty much irrelevant at the level this was played, but it makes a nice puzzle.
