32.Rxe7 Rxe7 33.Nf6+
The exchange sacrifice has served two purposes at
once: it removed the bishop, which was defending the f6-square, and
also cleared the 8th-rank for an upcoming check by the queen.
33...Kh8
If 33...Kf8 34.Qc8+ Re8 35.Qxc5+ (clearing out the
a3-f8 diagonal) 36...Re7 36.Qc8+ Re8
Analysis Diagram: after 36...Re8
The Black queen is overworked, defending both e8 and
b4; now 37.Bb4+ forces mate.
34.Qc8+ Re8 35.Nxe8 Kh7 36.Nd6
White is a piece up. 1-0
