28... Qf4
Now I draw a bead on his c1 Rook and threaten a discovered attack on his Queen as well as posing a mating attack against his King.

 
29. Qe1
A limited defense ( I don't believe an adequate defensive move was available.)

 
29... Bxf2+
Adding at least the exchange to my material advantage.

 
30. Qxf2 Qxc1+ 31. Bf1
Perhaps Qf1 would have been better but at this point the position and the game was really Black's.

 
31... a5
Moving the pawn out of harm's way.

 
32. Qb6 a4
And again. (It is also moving toward its queening square.)

 
33. c7
So White does the same. However, at the moment White's queening square is under the observation of both Black's Rook and Queen.

 
33... Bc4
OUCH!!!! The power of the pin is demonstrated rather painfully to White.

 
34. Qf2
While this prevents the immediate mate, the forthcoming piece exchange will leave Black with an unstoppable "a" file pawn.

 
34... Qxf1+
White elected to resign.
