23. Bc4
Ok, we have sharp position here. White is breaking through the center and Black is trying to attack the King. The threat now is d6+ winning the Queen. Therefore...
23...Kh8 24. d6 Qg5
Queen was attacked and White's pawns are advancing. The only chance, of course, is counter-attack.
25. Qd5 Be6
Be6 is beautiful move which made me post this game. Since Rf8 is not defended at the moment, fxe3 is impossible. Be6 earns crucial tempo because Qd5 is attacked and White is forced to take the Bishop. Then fxe3 opens the gates around Kh1.
26. Qxe6 fxe3 27. Rxf8+ Rxf8 28. g3
White is having big problem with his back rank and bad position of the King. Now Queen's breach decides the game...
28...e2 29. Bxe2 Qd2 30. Qg4 Qe1+ 31. Kg2 g5 32. d7 Rf2+ 33. Kh3 Bf6 34. Qxe4 Qg1 35. d8=Q+ Bxd8 36. Qe8+ Kg7 37. Qd7+ Kh6 0-1
