After Bc3 Nxc3, W is still the exchange up but just losing because of the active black pieces!? Presumably the long diagonal murder then happens...great position!
Yep, I can't see a defence after your last line with 31. Bc3 Nxc3. White is hogtied. Alan's Qxd3 was still a great move though as black would doubtless be looking for something simpler than this line, especially with the clock ticking down to the time-control.
