27. Qxc4
Queen gone

 
27... Rxb7
OK. So now I have reduced his attacking power dramatically whilst sacrificing my planned pawn promotion. The focus now is on destroying as many pieces as I can and advancing the pawn from a2 to secure a future promotion.

 
28. Qc8
Moving in on the rooks

 
28... Rb2
Rook retreat

 
29. Ka3
Bringing my king back to protect the pawn

 
29... Rxd2
Simple loss of pawn enables me to work on the rook at a8

 
30. Qb7+
Tables turning now, this check has enabled me to take the rook

 
30... Nd7
Knight moves to protect

 
31. Qxa8
Rook gone, now to work on everything else

 
31... Re2
Clearly the opponents rook is intent on doing the same

 
32. Qxa7
Getting queen in position for check

 
32... Ngf6
Counter move, protecting his knight

 
33. Qd4
An idle threat from my queen

 
33... Ng4
which forced an evasive move, not sure why

 
34. Qa4
Getting back in position for check at d7

 
34... Rxe3+
In check again with the loss of another pawn

 
35. Kb2
Evasive move

 
35... Nf2
The knight is brought in to assist the rook

 
36. Qxd7+
Now I am able to eliminate another piece and threaten the king

 
36... Kf6
Little bit of dancing now to keep up the pressure
