30. Qa7
30. Qa7! Black has to exchenge the queens, leaving a pawn close to promotion.

 
30... Qxa7
Exchanging.

 
31. bxa7
The a7 pawn looks strong, but can black's rook come into play to stop it?

 
31... Kc7
Black thinks he's regained control. White cannot promote the pawn. Double check with the bishop doesn't improve anything for white. Material is even. Has white spoiled the game by making to many exchanges???

 
32. Bf8+
32. Bf8 !! Game over! The promotion is now a fact and after 32. ... Kb6 33. a8Q the mate on a5 is unstoppable.
