14. Qxh7 Qxa2 15. Qd3 (Engine thinks g3 instead, which I wanted to

34. Rxe1 Bxd7 35. f6 Qf8 36. f7 Qg7 37. Re8#
1-0

The final moves are only approximate. I am a little unsure at what
point white played Rfe1, although maybe move 26 is correct, and have
my doubts about whether black really played 26. ... a5; Maybe he
played b4 instead or maybe something else. Since I didn't keep
score, my reconstruction might not be perfect.

I was down to 8 seconds at the end. I had a very difficult time in
the opening and burned up too much time.
