📘 17...Kd8!?
An interesting idea to transfer the king to the b8-square, in order to clear a path along the 8th rank for the Rook on h8.

📕 18.g4!!
A very strong move. The white g-pawn takes the fight to its opponent on f5 rather than waiting passively to be attacked. 18...fxg4 19.Nxg4 Nef4 20.Be4+ Kh8 21.exf4 Bxg4 22.fxg5 Nf4 23.gxh6+-.
