White to play and MATE IN 16

Perhaps this is wrong but i don't have time to check it now. It comes from a game between me and Gothic Vortex 1.0 from January. I'm white.

Vortex, as always with these kind of attacks, thinks that it's clearly winning, it has even a promoted Queen more and my Chancellor has been sacrificed, but my attack is(?) unstoppable. I had analysed this position before 5 months and with best play i found it as a Mate in 16 for white.

White to play and win!

This comes from a game of me against Taikoki. I found the move after some minutes and i had played it after spending 1-2 hours of analysis to be sure it's right. This move is not the only winning one, but it's the most spectacular and the most quick path to the win.

After black's move 24...Bxi5, i played the most spectacular move in the board but rather logical if you see carefully the position, and had an easy win. I don't know if it is a mate in X (X less than 20) since now Gothic Vortex doesn't work but it is a sure win for white.
