31... Qg8
I felt safer having my queen near the king for protection, but it is an illusion, in fact the queen takes up a valuable flight square for the king. 31...Qc5+ was better.

 
32. Bg7+
He throws in a check. I see that I am losing my queen, but I decide to at least get two pieces for her.

 
32... Kh7
So my king comes up.

 
33. Nh6
Checkmate to the black queen! 33. Qe3 threatening mate was perhaps even stronger, but both moves win for white.

33... Qxg7
I take the bishop.

 
34. fxg7
He takes her.

 
34... Kxh6
I take the knight.

 
35. d6
Opening up the diagonal for his queen to come in.

 
35... Bxg7
Played to reach the time control. Black's position is hopeless. By the time all the other games were over. We had lost the match heavily. Rather than put the clocks back 15 minutes each, I decided to resign. Many thanks for reading this! Please rate the annotation on the star system and leave a comment or two. Until next time dear reader!
