35... Re8?? instead 35 ...Rxf3+!! because after the forced gxf 36...Rxf3# 

Nm tonydal, 35... Rxf3+ wins because the white lady's sitting on a7

No. You're in the text, tonydal is in the variation he posted.

Tonydal thinks you're commenting on his line, not the game. And rightly so, because you're suggesting an improvement for black where the OP was white - it only makes sense in the context of trying to refute tonydals improvement over the moves played.

In addition to missing 35....Rf3+, black also missed 32....Rg2; 33.Rg2, Rf3+.  Sorry, but all I'm seeing is black's moves.  Oh well, ladies first, right?

a thanks for the aclaration steinar! yeah i was commenting for black side because the OP blunder taking the pawn, so it was in order to make sure he sees that and improve for his next game with the lady
