White employs a few nice ploys in this battle, leaving his queen en prise for several moves until black is forced to take, which allows white to storm the bastions. The rooks+bishops combo is very effective, as can be shown by black's quick resignation.

just when one thinks one has seen the last of the most beautiful games another one pops up.  Chess is indeed immortality personified!
