White's rooks finally come into play after black is forced into the center.

 
38... Qa2
But black's queen is still far from the action.

 
39. Bg5
Black has something rather stubborn defenses, but sees that a breakthrough is eventual through f6 (or perhaps even e5), and white can easily win with his king-side pawns. Black admitted after the game that he saw my entire attack coming, but couldn't do anything about it. By taking advantage of my opponent's piece discoordination, I was able to pull out a win from this otherwise equal situation.
