35. Nd8
Possibly preparing one last shot of taking on e6 with the knight and then the queen.

 
35... Nf4
Attacks the queen and defends e6. There's a bit of irony in that my pieces are all exactly where all his central pawns used to be.

 
36. Nxe6
Taking a pawn with hopes of exchanging queens, but the position is basically lost by now anyway. I could simply take back on e6 and win a piece. However, when you find a good move, look for a better one.

 
36... Qe4+
Qd5 works just as effectively. If 37) Qf3 then 37) ... Qxf3 and black wins the queen. If 37) Qg2 then 37) ... Nxg2 and black wins the queen. That leaves one legal move left for white.

 
37. Bg2
Now my queen is under attack as well. One final (and relatively simple) move wins the game.

 
37... Qb1+
And white resigned. After 38) Bf1 (the only legal move), I play the simple 38) ... Nxh3 and win the queen.
