28... a5
So I can start pushing my extra pawn. It's not going to queen in four moves, but the threat alone is enough to make my opponent jumpy...

 
29. Rb2
...and reply with this. Under different circumstance, such a trade could benefit White, for example if he had enough time to attack my castled position. But here it just hastens his defeat.

 
29... Qxb2
Not forced, 29...Qc6 was possible, but exchanging pieces and increasing my advantage is an offer I can't refuse.

 
30. Nxb2 Rc7xc1+ 31. Kh2
Notice the position of the Nb2 and Kh2? It's not hard to guess my next move.

 
31... e5
Activating the Bishop with tempo and making sure the a-pawn will Queen.

 
32. d5
32. Na4 was safer but still losing in the long run.

 
32... e4
A very impertinent pawn, hitting the Queen with impunity.

 
33. Qa3
White decides to save the Knight and attack my a-pawn.

 
33... Be5+
But now he gets mated.

 
34. g3 Rc8c2#
A pretty mate, White's Queen and Knight are punished on the edge of the Board while the King is left at the mercy of the Rooks and Bishop.
