30... Qg6+ 31. Kh4 Rg8
White has no threats left.

 
32. Qxc7 h5
! Threatening mate on g4.

 
33. Qd7
?? Ne3 or Nf2 were much better tries at defense. Now, white loses his queen.

 
33... Bc8 34. Bxg7+
Attempting to complicate, but black plays accurately here.

 
34... Kh7 35. Bf6+
There is no way to save the queen.

 
35... Bxd7 36. Bg5 Qc2
threatening mate on h2. The game is over now.

 
37. Kg3 Qg2+
White will play 38. Kh4, followed by (black's choice) mate on h2, h3, or g4. At this point, my opponent allowed his clock to run out. Annoying, yes, but a win is a win.
