A crazy blunderous zeitnot loss

Maybe my worst loss ever here... my problem was an awful lack of time... had I a minute more after the 34th move would I have used the advantage?

Your attack was winning.  I think you missed a clear winning line: 35 Rxh7+! Kxh7 36: P(e)xB with a pin on the rook.

Very nice attack irregardless.  It's a shame you didn't have enough time left to be able to convert the win.

oh really... my bishop remained impotent - didn't even think about a rook sac! But that was probably beyond my tactic skills Frown thank you!
