In this game, I make a pretty terrible blunder with 31. Qxg8?? where I should have played the simple 31. Rxf7!! and end the game with a very healthy material advantage. After 32. Kh2 however, my opponent also made a mistake with 32. ...Qg7?? where I was able to win (Note that my opponent lost from time, due to him/her waiting for their last ~4 minutes). What I'm curious on though is whether or not 31. Qxg8 really is a game ending blunder or not and whether White will be able to force a win by promoting a pawn or capturing the Black queen. After running computer analysis, the position turned up equal with Black's next best move as 32. ...Qg5 (after waiting a minute or two for the computer to decide without any forseeable changes in its calculation). Any extra analysis is appreciated.
