  fredthebear: In the final position, Black is ready to promote and checkmate shortly. Play could go 33.various e1=Q+ 34.BxQe1 QxBe1+ 35.Bf1 Qf2+ 36.Kh1 Qxh2+.

If White tries to block promotion with 33.Be1, Black mates by 33...Qe3+ 34.Kh1 Nf2+ 35.Kg1 Nh3++ 36.Kh1 Qg1#. If Black tries to avoid the double check by getting rid of the knight via 35.BxNf2, it allows promotion with check 35...e1=Q+ 36.BxQe1 QxBe1+ 37.Bf1 QxBf1#.

To summarize the possible finish, Black will dominate on the dark squares with or without promotion. White's bishops cannot stop the Black queen from closing in and checkmating the cornered White king.
