22... Kc7 |
Avoids the knight fork on f6, which would drop the g4-Bishop. | ||||

23. Nd6 Rg8 24. Rfb1 |
Threatening Rxb7 Kd8 (forced) Rb8 winning the g8-Rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... b6 25. a5 |
Same threat if Black takes on a6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... b5 26. c4 |
Same threat again if Black takes on c4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... a6 27. cxb5 cxb5 28. f4 |
Now shifting the action to the King-side, the f-pawn is a passed pawn, so it makes sense to advance it down the board. | ||||

28... Bf3 29. g3 h5 30. Rbf1 |
Rooks go behind passed pawns. | ||||

30... Bg4 31. Rac1+ Kd7 32. f5 Be2 33. f6 |
33...Bxf1 34. fxd7 is good for White. 33...Re6 34. f7 Rf8 35. Rc8! is also good for White. | ||||

33... Bxf1 34. fxe7 Kxe7 35. Rxf1 Ke6 36. Nxb5 |
This was probably unnecessary, but I just wanted to prevent any counterplay by Black. Except for the passed b-pawn, Black did not have any threats. | ||||

36... axb5 37. Rb1 h4 38. Kg2 |
The main alternative was 38. Rxb5 hxg3 39. hxg3 Rxg3 , with a similar material position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
38... Kd5 39. Rxb5+ Kxd4 40. e6 |
Black will not be able to stop both pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
40... hxg3 41. hxg3 Re8 42. Rb6 Kc5 43. Kf3 Ra8 44. e7 |
If 44...Rxa5, White wins easily: 45. e8=Q Kxb6 | ||||
| | |||||
|
44... Re8 45. Rb7 Kc6 46. a6 Ra8 47. Kf4 |
Again threatening e8=Q if Black takes on a6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
47... Kd6 48. a7 Ke6 49. Rb8 |
At least one pawn will queen now, so Black resigned. | ||||
