A successful but difficult mate

I recently had some difficulty with a mate. It all started when my opponent made a bludder and I knew it. I just had to exploit it somehow. White should not have moved the Queen away from the h file. (h5-Qg6) Maybe you could find an alternate mate, I didn't.

    I think I would have gone 17...Rh6 Then depending on whites move it could be either mate in 5 moves or it might take a little longer. At least you would be up by 4 more points and white would not have a queen.

    Your move of 17...Rxh2 and then white Kxh2 gives white a net gain of 4 points although it did allow you to get control of h and therefore win the game.
