"xe7" is not a valid chess notation.

29. Rxe7 is a big blunder. Black plays Qxe7, and draw.

Instead, 29. Qd5+ leads to an incredible mate.

Do you have time to play Qg6 and follow it up with Rh7 and then Qh5?

That mate threat would be hard to stop.

Qd5+ is the move. I think.

Black has mate in 3.

29. Qg6 Qc1+ 30. Kf2 Qxe3+ 31. Kf1 Qe1 mate.
