29. Re2
Nice (given the losing situation), since it get rid of one of my attacking pieces. I had to choose among Rmoves along the 3rd rank (Re8+ is no dangerous), but I preferred the tempo (almost always preferring tempo!)

 
29... Rxe2 30. Nxe2 b5
A piece as the least is mine. Can you see the best white's move here?

31. cxb5 cxb5
Again: can you see the best white move here?

 
32. Nec3
?? No, he just wants to retake his N with the c3's one, but overlooked my answer. I almost went for the N, I confess. But you have to look and search for "something more", ever... even to find out that there is nothing. Fortunately, I did see it...

 
32... b4#
Even material, and a very nice mate, with just N and pawn. No need for R or B. Thank you Caissa, you were with me this time.
