...and black is a walking dead. Not even QxB can save him, since after NxQ, I threat Nxg6.

As I said in a recent game: all the fuzz (and -4) for an exchange? No way! :-)

Mostly, making room for my N!

 
31... Qf7
Too easy!

 
32. Ne5 Qf8
A tactic puzzle here (very easy). A single move makes me win. All the others gives advantage to black, even with the lost exchange on h8 and a messy position. "I'll give you two seconds... if you found it, congratulations!" :-)

Qb7, QxQ#

 
34. Rxh8#
Being -7, with only three pieces, all of them necessary for the mate. This was elegant, wasn't it? Please forgive me my self-praising, sometimes you just need it! Thank you for reading!
