This is perhaps one of the fundamental weaknesses in chess: that there is no handicapping system. If the lower-rated player was given a few move-overrules, that would even things up a bit!
I think I saw a mate after 35...c4+ 36. Ke3 Qg1+ 37. Kf3 or Kf4 Qg3#. Good game
rainting doesn't affect my play

Actually there are quite a few! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_handicap but I had never come across them.
