Position from Howell - Bindrich (Khanty Mansiysk 2010). Black with still 20 minutes on the clock played 29.- Nxe4??

Black could have continued with 44.- Qxf4 45.Rxf4 Bxb2 and the thing looks kinda drawish. Instead Black played 44.- Bd4?? and White mated with 45.Qc7#
Ouch.
Solution (1 / 5): 2.Bd6 Qe7 + 1.Qe6! (2nd - Qxe6 3.fxe6 and the threat is deadly Rf8 #) 1-0
