21. Rd1 g6
This looks like an attempt to reroute the bishop.

 
22. h5
It also gives me a chance to open the h-file against the king.

 
22... g5
Pretty much forced. Just a few moves ago, White was almost completely undeveloped, now even the h1-rook can be considered developed. It can also seek greener pastures via h3 if necessary.

 
23. Be6
Trying to force the rook off of the d-file.

 
23... Re7 24. Bb3 Rf6
If 24...Rd7; 25. Nf5 Rxd1; 26. Kxd1 Rd8 ; 27. Ke2 Bf8; 28. Rd1 liqudates the rooks and the Knight of f5 dominates the bishop.

 
25. Nf5
The plan is to play Rd5, Ke2 and Rhd1 and Rd8 will lead to mate, if Black doesnt make room for the king or guard the back rank. The rook will then penetrate to the 7th rank in any case.

 
25... Rxf5
A little extreme, but that knight was worth close to a rook.

 
26. exf5 Bg7
This is the final mistake, which unleashes a fatal attack.

 
27. h6 Bf8 28. Rh5
Threatening to play Rxg5, when mate is looming on g8.

 
28... Re8
Now capturing the g-pawn can be met with Bxh6.

 
29. f6
Again the idea is to play f7 and Rxg5, followed by Rg8.

 
29... Nd8 30. Rd7 b5
Black is completely helpless.

 
31. Rg7
The rook can't be taken because of hg#.

 
31... Ne6 32. f7
Here Black resigns. He is mated by force after 32...Nxg7; 33. hxg7 Kxg7; 34. fe=Q and it's mate in a couple of moves. Thanks to my opponent.
