Bringing my Q back towards the center of the board.

37... Qxc3 38. a4
My own QRP was under fire.

 
38... Qxe3 39. Rxe4
Another pair of Pawns leave the board. Black again has the chance to exchange Queens...

 
39... Qg3 40. Qf2
... and does not. He is clearly trying to geenerate a mating attack.

I bring my Q to an open area and attack the R.

Continuing to push.

 
45... Kf5 46. Rf8+
I force the Black K to the KN file, enabling me to win Black's Q.

 
46... Kg5 47. Rxg7+
Black's own aggressive play has led to this position.

 
47... Kh5 48. Rxg4
I of course seize the chance to win the Q.

 
48... Rfxg4 49. Rf5+
Still thinking mating attack.

Closing in.
