31. Ne4
the knight blocks

 
31... Qa4+
and I got to thinking I might get away with this

 
32. Kc3
I wanted to avoid the b-file because he could bring his rook into play.

 
32... Qa5+
I just couldnt see how he could make any headway.

 
33. Kc2
but he found a nice resource here....

 
33... dxe4
I wonder what he's up to

 
34. fxe4
still no alarm bells...

 
34... Bxe4+
I still hadnt seen it

 
35. Qxe4
until he played this next move...

 
35... Qd2+
I now realise he just needed my queen out of the way. If now 36 Kb1 then 36...Qd1 37 Ka2 Qa4 38 Kb1 Nd2 forking my queen.

 
36. Kb3
So I have no choice but to allow his rook to join the party.

 
36... Rb8+
and then I resigned because 37 Ka2 Rxb2 leads to mate. A very nice finish by him I thought.
