White can't do much. there is a minor threat of Rxg7+, which is just one check.
Black should have played
36...Nf4+, a deadly <discovered> check that will win the white queen.
Instead Black played
36...Ne3+, a <double> check which is almost as deadly.
Black has so much time that the knight meandered back to g7 to take the ♙g7.
A cataclysm come to pass.

39.Nf4 one of White's only active moves.
39....Nf5?? the black knight returns to the attack. But
40. Nxh3+- 1-0.

Black played a binder, but one move threw it all away.
