31. Nxd6
and i follow through

 
31... Kxd6
and so does he - now, from a position of relative strength, he's blown his advantage and evened things up in terms of material - he's also left his back rows completely open to my bishop, which can dart in and try to disrupt the pawn structure a bit

32. Rd1+
but first, a check to keep his king moving and get my rook out into the open

 
32... Ke5
he doges away

 
33. Rc1
and i challenge the bishop to get him moving

 
33... Nc5
a nice move to block me for now

34... b5
and he sets in motion a play for promotion

 
35. Rd8
now, finally, into the back rows to start dismantling things

 
35... b4
he advances again, threatening my bishop

 
36. Rh8
so i challenge the base of his pawn structure

 
36... h5
and he responds with an advance

37. Rg8
another challenge to the new base

 
37... Kf6
and he fortifies it

38. Rc8
attacking his bishop and stacking up so he has to lose at least one piece, but it's something of an empty threat for the moment considering his likely next move

 
38... b3
which is of course to attack my bishop and threaten promotion

 
39. Bb1
so this move gets me out of harm's way, and staves off any credible promotion threats for a bit - meanwhile, he's now going to lose either a bishop or a knight, and he knows it, so my threat carries some force after all

39... Bd5
he decides he'd rather lose the knight apparently

 
40. Rxc5
so i oblige him and give myself the decisive edge

 
40... Ke5
now the king's going to try and come in and scare me off
