33... Nxg3
I thought this led to 3 pawns for the knight - 34. hxg3 Qxg3+ 35. Qg2 Qxg2+ 36. Kxg2 Rxb2 is what I expected.

37. Nh4
Knight up

 
37... h6
I was frightened by moves like Nf5+, g4 and Rg8mate. Of course, I have moves in between, and my king can just walk up the board, but down to the last 10 minutes, I was starting to have pessimistic delusions.

 
38. Nf5+
So he checked. As I had less than 10 minutes left, I stopped recording now. I think the position is lost, but I didn't defend very well. He played g4 and I played Rb4 going after the pawn, and that let his king off the back rank, and he marched his king up and won very easily from here. Many thanks for reading, please leave a comment or two and rate the annotation on the star system.
