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. |

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