25. Nf4+
This is a very in-depth cheapo, Black must take Qxf4 and Black is totally winning. Qxf4 isn't really that hard to see. So why didn't this guy play it? I personally would've played Rg7 Kxh5 Rd1 threatening Rh1# but then Qf4 stops mate, but then again Qf4 may be harder to see than Qxf4 in Baker's variation

25... Kg5
The most horrible blunder of the game. Black stubbornly will not give up his queen for an easy win, so Black is totally dead now, what a moron. And if Kf6 then Rd6 Kg5 Rg6#

26. Rg7+ Kf6
forced

 
27. Rg6+
Any idiot who would subject their king to this much harassment (especially up a whole queen) is a, I must say again, "MORON"

27... Kf7
forced

 
28. Ne5+
crushing

 
28... Ke7
Ke7 and Ke8 are the same as Re6 forces the king to f8 no matter what. And Kf8 immediately here, then Rf6 Kg8 (Kg7 Rf7 Kg8 Rd8 Qe8 Rxe8#)Rd8 Kg7 Rf7# and King to e-file after Rf6 will just transpose to the actual game after Re6

 
29. Re6+ Kf8
forced

 
30. Rd8+
This is the ultimate comeback

 
30... Kg7
forced

 
31. Rg6+
truly amazing how Baker can be down a queen, but still have a totally won position.

 
31... Kh7
forced

 
32. Ne6
Finally a non-checking move that seals Black's fate. There is a mating threat of Rg7# and no way to stop mate. Qd7 fails to Rxd7 Nxd7 Rg7# h5 fails to Ng5#, and Rg8 simply fails to Rgxg8 forcing Rh8# in a move or two

32... Rxd8
I'm not sure if Black knew he had lost yet, but Baker's comeback must've made this guy pissed

 
33. Rg7+
If only Black had played Qxf4 on move 25, he could've avoided this embarassing swindle

 
33... Kh8
helplessly forced.

 
34. Nf7#
If Baker could see this guy's face, he would laugh in it. Just look at the material count!
