Annotated chess game

Now really was the time for ...a3.

It just gets worse, doesn't it?

31... Qxc3 32. Qb6?? Qxe1+ 33. Kc2 and now Rb8 (threatening Bxe4+) is lethal.

Haha! OK. After Qxc3, Bd1. Then what, smartypants.  

31...Qxc3 32.Bd1 Bxe4ch 33.Nxe4 Rb1ch etc. Actually 33.Rxe4 is best, as Black then has to beware of Nd5ch forking K and Q. In this line, 31...Qxc3 32.Qb6 Rb8 threatening 33...Bxe4ch wins easily for Black. But really, Black's actual choice, 31...Qb5ch leads quickly to an easy win.

Not too hard. I see a way black can win white's queen. It's probably not the best (there's probably forced mate) but a queen would be enough to win.

Agreed. Of the moves available to white, this is the toughest, but the win is straightforward: 32...Qb2ch 33.Kd1 Qb1ch 34.Kd2 Bf4ch 35.Qe3 - the only legal move available. Black can simply win the Queen (with check) or look for the mate beginning with moves like ...Qb2ch or ...Rd8ch. A good win for Black, but an illustration of the sort of game that emerges from castling on opposite wings. White allowed herself to get bogged down in defence, when all-out attack is what is called for in this sort of game.

Actually, Ion, After Qb2+ Kd1 I like Bf4.
