Thanks! Incredible error! I just played through the game. It seems it all goes wrong on move 33, when black bishop takes rook. From there there can only be one conclusion. A better move would have been 33 ..Q g7. Hence threatening the white knight if the white queen takes the bishop.

white mated black. King could not take queen bc knight was there. king could not move toward knight because queen was there, black pawn was in the way.

so Yes i can see the mate.
