35... Neg4
the retreat is forced.

 
36. f5
I push my pawn threatening the queen who really has nowhere to go, and faces certain capture now

 
36... Nh2
A natural threatening reaction that is easily repelled

 
37. Qg2
thus

 
37... Qxf5
This decision sped up the end game. Why black never captured the knight here I do not understand

 
38. exf5 Nhg4 39. Nxf7+
check

 
39... Kg8
fork

 
40. Nd6 Ne3
so what?

 
41. Bxe3 dxe3
which castle to take? I do not want his knight protecting the pawn in front of the king so I choose the far castle

 
42. Nxc8 Rxc8 43. Ra6a7
The beginnings of a mate surface. If I can get the queen onto the 7th row, its mate.

 
43... Rd8
Not seeing the danger, the castle moves over...

 
44. Qb7
Success!!

 
44... Ne8
Damn knight....hmmm OK so mate is still imminent...mate in 4

 
45. Qf7+ Kh7 46. Re7 Rxd3 47. Qxh5+ Kg8 48. Rxe8#
Mate it is...
