Black to move and win

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6 5.c4 Nf6 6.Nc3 Nxd4 7.Qxd4 d6 8.Be2 Bg7 9.0-0 0-0 10.Qe3 Nd7 11.Bd2 Nc5 12.Rad1 Bd7 13.Be1 b6 14.f4 Na4 15.b3 Nxc3 16.Bxc3 Bxc3 17.Qxc3 Qc7 18.Qg3 Qc5+ 19.Kh1 Bc6 20.Bd3 a5 21.Qh4 Ra7 22.Rf3 f5 23.Rh3 e6 24.Qe1 fxe4 25.Bxe4 Rxf4 26.Bxc6 Qxc6 27.Qxe6+ Raf7 28.Rhd3 [Diagram] 28...Qe4 0-1 Geller resigned because his best move here is to surrender her highness with 29.Qxf7+. If instead 29.Qc8+ then 29...Kg7 30.h4 Rg4 and once again White's best involves a royal tragedy: 31.Qxg4, since after 31.Rg1 Rxh4+ 32.Rh3 Rff4 33.Qd7+ Kh6 34.Rd1 Rxh3+ 35.Qxh3+ Rh4 White's goose is quite properly cooked.
