  Sally Simpson: White (and me) to play.

White played 31.Rd7 threatening 32.Qxg8+ and Rb8+ I'd have played the same two mover and felt quite proud of myself.

Pity the the both of us never sat on our hands. 31.Rb5 and it is 1-0. (31...Qh4 32.Rh4) I only spotted it when skipping through the games from this event that had a promotion (always usually interesting) and White played 32.Rb5 on the next move.

Hang on...Then I backed up a move and saw Rb5 could have/should have been played one move earlier.
