  fredthebear: After 32...Re1+ 33.Kh2 the White queen appears to be overloaded, guarding both White minor pieces. However, 33...RxBd1 is not met by recapture. Instead, 34.Qa8+ is a nail in the coffin!

Thus, in the actual game 33...Qh6 was played in part to create an escape square for the Black king due to the back rank weakness. Kg7 is now possible if needed.

After an exchange of queens (35.Qxc3+ forces the Black queen to recapture, and the White bishop is spared again.), the game winds up with both White minor pieces and a queenside pawn majority against the Black rook. It's too much to expect of the Black rook now.
