30...Qf4?? must have been a miscalculation; almost any reasonable move would be better. In particular, the computer likes Black's chances with 30...Bxg4! - if 31.Kxe3? Qf4+ 32.Kd3 Qxd4+ mating, and if 31.Qxg4 Rf4! 32.Qh5 Rxd4+! winning. If 31.Qxg4 Rf4 32.Nd7!? Rxg4 33.Nxb8 Re8! and the knight is suddenly trapped...

...though with so few Black pawns left White would almost certainly play on.

Another wildly tactical possibility would be 30...Rf4 31.Qh2! Rg3!?

32.Qxg3! Rxd4+ 33.Nd3 Qxg3 34.Rxc8+ Bf8 (forced) 35.Rxf8+ Kg7 36.Rf3! Qxg2+ 37.Kc3 Rxd3+ 38.Rxd3 Qxh1 39.gxh6+ Qxh6 and White seems to be escaping.
