Hint
Discovered Check - Chess Terms - Chess.com
I watched this speed chess game live and the move blew my mind.
Spoiler
35.Qxg6+!!
Two exclams is a brilliant move. Discovered checks can be nasty and that's true here. The discovered checks of the bishop are devastating.
White's move blew my mind but after I saw that - I could easily see this very simple continuation: check, kill the bishop, check, kill the queen and it's effectively game over.

pawn g2 takes king g1; pawn h6 takes king h7
the rules only exist to keep the monarchy in power, throw off your chains

There's a 15s ad in the intro and then it's ad-free. If he's doing well and he's in a good mood - he'll keep going. He might stream another ~4+ hours or it might be over soon. I have no idea.
I don't get it, I am bad at chess and maybe I'm misreading the notation
if you take the black rook with the white queen can't the black king just take your queen? what prevents it
I forgot to mention the most helpful advice - the board at the link is interactive.
Yes, but
___ then white takes the pawn at g7 and keeps the black king in perpetual checks while taking a pawn, the bishop and the queen. Black is left with no pieces and down a pawn.
Answer
36.Qxg6 Kxg6
37.Rxg7## = checkmate
Does that answer your question?
What's to stop the king from taking the queen though?
