White has found a safe way to increase his advantage.
32...Bxe4 33.Bxe4 Nxe4
34.Kg2!
Not the hasty 34.f3 Ng5 35.Kg2 Ne6.
34...h6 35.f3 Nf6 36.Rxc5 e4 37.f4!? e3 38.Rc2 Nd5? 39.Rxd5 e2 40.Bf2 e1=Q 41.Bxe1 Rxe1 42.Ra2
And White won.

Black to move
White is a pawn up, but with his queen on the other side of the board his kingside attack has come to a dead end.
32...Qb6!
With the queens off, the pawns on a4 and c3 will be easy targets for Black's rook, for example via b3 . You could also include this example under the heading 'eliminating the defender' .
33.Qc4!
Justifiably declining. Being a pawn up is of no significance here.
33...Ne8 34.Rg3 Qb3! 35.Qxb3 Rxb3 36.Bd2 Ra3 37.d4
White is trying very hard to bring back his rook to the scene of the action.
37...Ra4?!
This lets White off the hook. More challenging was 37...Nf6 or 37...Ra2.
