With the irresistible threat of 34...Qf3.

In this case, the zwischenzug helps Black equalise.
A) 13...cxd5?! 14.Bxg7 Kxg7 15.bxc4+=
B) 13...Qd6?! 14.Bxg7 Kxg7 15.bxc4+=
14.Bxc3 Bxc3 15.Qxc3 cxd5
Black even temporarily wins a pawn.
16.Qc7 Nd7 17.Bxd5 Qxd5 18.Rad1 Qe6 19.Rxd7
Draw, because the variation 19...Qxe2 20.Rxe7 Qxa2 21.Qxb7 Rab8 22.Qxa7 Qxa7 23.Rxa7 Rxb3, leads to a complete elimination of the fighting forces.

17.Rd1!
It turns out that we can first attack the queen, creating in the process the deadly threat 18.Qxc4+. In the game, there followed 17.Qxf5 Qd5 18.Qf3 Qxf3 19.Nxf3 Bf6, with Black having sufficient compensation for the pawn. After:
17...Bd5 18.Qxf5
Thanks to the pin on the bishop, the c4-pawn is lost as well. White is winning.

If we now simply take the bishop, then White’s advantage in the opposite-coloured bishops position will be minimal. Instead, White sees a tactical motif, connected with the unstable position of the black rook and the insufficiently protected black king on h8.
23.Nf6! Bxf6 24.Rxc7 Bxh4 25.Rgxg7!
Even more precise than 25.Rxb7 g6.
25...Qe4+ 26.Kg1
Black resigned.
