45. Kd2 Qxh2 46. Rxe2 Qd6+
A queen and three pawns should always be winning against 2 rooks, even a queen and two pawns is usually enough to win, but sometimes a draw if the pawns are not connected, but since I have conntected g and h-pawns, the game is basically over.

 
47. Kc3 h5 48. Rbe1 h4
Forget the non-connected pawn, I just want to promote as soon as possible

 
49. Re2xe6 Qc7+ 50. Kd4 h3 51. Re6e8+ Kh7 52. Re8e2 h2
There shouldn't be much hope for White now, once my other pawn advances, White's rooks won't be able to defend anymore

 
53. Rh1 Qf4+ 54. Re4
Only move that doesn't allow a forking tactic that wins a rook

 
54... Qd6+ 55. Kc4
This is the safest square to avoid forks

 
55... g5
connecting the rooks avoids forks, but moving the rook off the 4th rank allows me to push my pawn without problems. I am going to play Qg3 and g4, then Qh3 and g3 etc. white's rooks do not stand a chance.

 
56. Rhe1
white thought this was his last chance to get activity, but since only 1 rook is defending the promotion square, I can try to get my queen to g1 force promotion

 
56... Qc6+
Kd4 or King to b-file allows Qb6 followed by Qg1 and white's rooks can't check for long.

 
57. Kd3 Qd7+
My queen will get to h3, and then there's nothing stopping the pawns

 
58. Kc4 Qh3
g4-g3-g2 is coming, so all White can do is check

 
59. Re4e7+ Kg6 60. Re1e6+ Kf5 61. Re6e5+ Kf6
White resigned here since I'm going to get another queen. If White moves a rook to e6, then I can just simply trade the queen for both rooks and promote next move
