28... Qxh6
Is was a mistake, but it was hard to see compensation in Qe7. It was in the fact that white has, as a minimum Qd5+, and if black covers the check with the rook, to avoid a subsequent BxRh7+, now, in h6, the queen doesn't help to the defence of f7, as it does in e7. so QxR becomes possible for white. So this was a mistake.

 
29. Qxf8+
White found the right way to had the most of the situation. In any case, BxR will win the piece and the game.

 
29... Qxf8 30. Rxf8+
The "residual tactic" is now that the king is forced to let undefended his rook.

 
30... Kxf8 31. Bxh7
So no point in going on. I have no chance even to be stalled against a strong player like blitzkov. Thank you for the lesson!
