Step. The end of the dance, white now wins the black queen. |

22... Ke6 23. Rxf8

The black queen has to give her life as her king is in a mating net. |

|
Black's forces are virtually undeveloped, white's reserves have lots of time to come into action. |

Deperation... The rest was played quickly and may not be the most efficient execution by the white forces. But it does not really matter anymore, black is lost anyway. |

Black is shooting for a last trick: Protect the g2 pawn by his bishop, bring the rook to the f-file and hope that white leaves the backrank unprotected. |

White has activated his forces and opened the position with 29. e6 . I got the feeling there should be a fast win here, but settled for exchanging of the rooks - killing any counter-threats. |

After the exchange of the rooks, the queen and her shepherd knight will corral the black king. The skills of queen and knight are complementary and they form a good team. |
