62. Rf8+
Rf8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This amazing move puts his king in check and allows me to move forward my pawn for a queen the next move!!! This double-edged move gives the full advantage back to me.

I know have a queen, rock, bishop--and a 9 pt lead!

 
63... Qe4+
check...he tries to keep the queen in motion still hoping to pick off pieces.

 
64. Qc6+
Qc6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check and the queen if he chooses to move his king. However, if he chooses to take with the queen--he is not standing alone with his king...I still have a bishop, rook, and pawn. He is in a very bad position....

 
64... Kg5
he doesn't protect the queen.....the best move here would have been the exchange....I think he realizes whatever the case, it is a lost cause. The best he can hope for now is a draw.

 
65. Qxe4 Kh5 66. Qg2
one move away from checkmate. All good things must come to an end. And he resigns.
