24... Rxd4 25. f5
! The diagonal is cleared. Again the pawn move weakens the e5 square, but white threatens to play 26. f6! and then Qh6 is desastrous for black.

 
25... Ne5

26. f6
!! The f-pawn is the hero of the game!

 
26... Nxg4
?! Black wins yet another pawn, but by now it is clear it's not getting him anywhere.

 
27. Bxg4 Rxg4 28. Qh6
! Finally, I've realised my plan. Mate on g7 is inevitable and it seems like Alex didn't have a clue what was going on.

 
28... Rxg2+
?! Time for desperate measures....

 
29. Kxg2
! Avoiding black's last trick. If 29.Rxg2? black plays 29..Qc5 ! and 30..Qf8 . Now black only has a final discovered check before losing to Qg7 mate!

 
29... d4+ 30. Kg1
And black resigned.
