Nevermind I see what you are saying..hang on. 31...Be7 solves the attack by the queen I think. Im rushed to think right now Im about to go off to class Ill examine that further when I get back. You are right though Nd5 is stronger than what he chose.

How about 31. ... Ne4, threatening both Qg3# and Qf2#?

31. Nd5 still loses to Ne4 then eventual queen checkmate.
