36. Rxe4+
! The black queen is overloaded. She can't defend both the bishop and rook!

 
36... Qxe4 37. Qxg8+
The fact that this capture is a check ensures victory for white.

 
37... Kxf6
No matter what Black plays, she can't avoid the exchange of queens. Variation 1: 37...Kf5 38.Qh7 /// Variation 2: 37...Ke5 38.Qe8+ /// Variation 3: 37...Kd7 38.Qg7+! Kc8 (38...Kc6 39.Qg2)(38...Kd8, Ke8, Kd6, Ke6 39.Qe7+) 39.Qf8+ Kc7 (Kd7) 40.Qe7+ /// Variation 4: 37...Kd6 38.Qg3+! Kd7 (38...Kc6, Kd5 39.Qg2)(38...Ke6, Kc5 39.Qe3(+)) 39.Qg7+! transposes into variation 3.

 
38. Bg5+
Variation 5: 37...Kxf6 38.Bg5+

 
38... Ke5
38...Ke5 39.Qh7+

 
39. Qe8+
Skewer!

 
39... Kd4 40. Qxe4+
Fun fact: This is the eight check in a row by white.

 
40... Kxe4
Being up a bishop, white should have no problem winning.

 
41. Kg3 Kd3 42. Kh4 Kc2 43. Bf6
