41. Rc8
so i head back for the back row

 
41... Kf4
he's apparently dodging my prospective check, but it's not a great move otherwise

42. Rd8
especially since his bishop can now be easily threatened again

 
42... Bc4
forcing him to move out of the danger

 
43. Rd4
but it's a short-lived relief, and i continue to chase him

 
43... Be2
another flight

 
44. f3
and now he'd have to doom his bishop to get that pawn

44... Ke3
instead he threatens my rook and frees up the pawn to attack

 
45. Rd6
so i head for the back of the pawn structure again

 
45... exf3
and he grabs my offered pawn, things are looking up for him again, with my king increasingly hemmed in by his assault

46. gxf3
grab his pawn before it can do real damage

 
46... Bxf3
and he grabs mine

 
47. Rxg6
finally, i get to grab that linchpin pawn, leaving him with just 3 free-floating pawns and me with one tucked over in the corner but for now untouchable

 
47... Be4
he protects the f5 pawn, which is his one good chance to advance to promotion at the moment

 
48. Bxe4
so i take the offered exchange

 
48... Kxe4
and he grabs my bishop - now my very slim advantage is one rook balanced against some very well-positioned pawns and an active king

49. Rb6
so i decide to eliminate the most decisive threat, with no hope of him escaping

 
49... f4
he gives up the b pawn and advances along f

 
50. Rxb3
grabbing the b pawn, i also seal off his king from moving down any further, so his f pawn will also have to be abandoned sooner or later too. this is the crucial maneuver he's missed

 
50... f3
the pawn advances
