At this point in the game, I am unable to easily check the king, and black's king is preventing mine from escaping a back rank mate that occurs in one move. Because I still have an extra rook, I am willing to sack my queen and exchange queens to ensure my king is safe. | ||||

42... Qxh7 |
Black does claim my rook here, and I was initially worried. However, I discovered that I could also pin the queen from this position by forcing the king to move to e4. | ||||

I expected this move; the only hope for black now is to get a pawn promoted, so they'd want to protect the pawns by any means necessary. | ||||

Black resigns; I am threatening Qxb5, and the two pawns on the other side of the board are probably never going to make it through my king-pawn formation there. | ||||
