"I will not hide the fact that I love to hear the spectators react after a sacrifice of a piece or pawn. I don't think that there is anything bad in such a feeling; no artist or musician is indifferent to the reactions of the public

19.Rxf6!!
A strong exchange sacrifice to destroy the opponent's king shelter. Then, White can quickly launch a mating attack against the Black's king by coordination between his queen and knights.
19. Nhf5 Rg8 20. Qh4 Nh7 21. Qe7 Rc8+/= The position is not hopeless for Black.
19. Bxe6 Qxe6 20.Nhf5 Rg8 21. Qh4 Bd8+/= White is better, However, realizing this advantage is not easy.

The rook joins the attack by heading for h3. By lifting the rook to the third rank, White is ready to increase the firepower along the h-file.
