31. Qd3
I protect my bishop.

 
31... Rf8
His rook comes over to attack my bishop again.

 
32. Bh7+
I throw in a check.

 
32... Kh8
Forced of course.

 
33. Nf4
Protecting my rook and threatening a horrible check on g6. Plus 7.41 to white now, according to Fritz.

He takes the bishop. Fritz is now crying out for Ne7+ but again I go along another path.

 
35. Re7
I decide to win his queen.

35... Qxe7
This leads to his mate. Fritz thinks that Kg8 was best, but still gives it as almost plus 9 to white.
