19. Rb1
Threatening my bishop.

 
19... Bxc3+ 20. Kxc3
I expected Qxc3, but perhaps he hoped I'd hang my queen with exf.

 
20... Qe5+ 21. Kd2 b5
I didn't want to lose material, though this pawn didn't really play a role after this.

 
22. f4
Forcing my queen to move, perhaps hoping I'd abandon the defense of my b pawn.

 
22... Qf5 23. g3
Protecting the f pawn, but fatally weakening the white squares.

 
23... Rfd8
Taking the open d file, I should have played this earlier.

 
24. Ke1 Ng4
Attacking the queen, and looking at Qc5 followed by f5 to protect my passed pawn.

 
25. Bxg4 Qxg4
I didn't expect the trade, but give up defense of my e pawn and hope to win his queen.

 
26. Qe2
Offering a trade.

 
26... e3
I push the pawn, seeing Qxg4 Bxg4, which will blockade the king.

 
27. Qf3 Qf5
Attacking the rook and thinking about advancing my b pawn.

 
28. Ne2
Blunder, setting up my mating attack.

 
28... Qxb1+ 29. Nc1
Forced.

 
29... Qxc1+
