26. Qe3 Rfe8 27. Qf2 Ng4 28. Qf1
queen on the run! good pressure from black.

 
28... f6 29. Nh3
only safe square for the knight. good pressure from black.

 
29... Ne6 30. Bd6
walking into danger! bad move by me!

 
30... Nd4
black's knights are very well positioned! lots of danger for white to think about now. f3 rook in big trouble, can be forked by d4 knight in many possible situations. 31.Ne2 is of particular concern.

 
31. Nf4
calculated risk by me here. if 31.Nxf3 I can play 32.gxf3 then gain g4 knight after queen moves to safety. however black can move queen to safety first. Moving my knight to f4 does however cover danger square e2.

 
31... Qe4
massive danger to white now.

 
32. Rd3
rook can now move here safely as danger of Ne2 then Qxd3 is removed

 
32... c5 33. b4
trying to make an escape for stranded bishop on d6

 
33... Nc2 34. Rc1 Nxb4 35. Ra3 a5 36. Bc7 Qb7
escape now impossible forbishop. have to be bold and go for attack.

 
37. Rg3
planning Nxh5 next to put pressure on g7

 
37... Qxc7 38. Nxh5 Qf7
I think Qd7 would have been better for black here.

 
39. Nxg7
if knight exchange taken i gain a pawn. risky when material down but little else open to me.

 
39... Qxg7 40. Qf4
black must move king or queen or looses queen.

 
40... Kf7 41. Rxg4 Qh8 42. Qc7+ Re7 43. Qxb6
picking off a few pawn could help things later.

 
43... Qh5 44. Rf4 Qh6 45. Rcf1
big pressure on f6

 
45... Kg7 46. Qxc5
perhaps Rxf6 would be better but black could respond with Qxh4.

 
46... Raa7
e7 rook easily defended

 
47. Qd4
pressure back on f6 and pawn pinned.
