33... exf6 34. Qxf6 d2
Kamikaze style.

 
35. Rxc8+
35.Rxd2 is bad because of Rxc1 and 35.Bxd2 is also bad because of Nd3. Black's 13th move payed for itself in gold.

 
35... Rxc8 36. h3
Tempting Black to err with the greedy 36...Bxd1, after which White completely turns the tables with 37.Qe6+ Nf7 38.Qxc8+ Nd8 39.Qxd8+ Kf7 40.Qxd6, White has taken all the material back and the d2 pawn is a goner because of glutton Bd1 that blocks his square with a belly full of Rook.
