    At 18:14 white had checkmate. Queen to h6, forces the king to the only safe square f7, then bishop c4, puts check mate as f6 f8 g7 and g8 are guarded by the queen, e6-8 by the rook, and bishop has f7
    Edit: Just realize Knight takes bishop on c4, but this still puts white in the better position. White takes black bishop with queen c3, and now black has to either sac the knight then trade their queen for white's rook, leaving black with just pawns and white with a queen. Or move the knight to a5 and trade queens which still leaves white in the better position as it's now a pawn game and the rook can take out pawns much easier then the knight can
