25. Kg1 Rf3
it's still a mistake

 
26. Ne7+ Kf7 27. Nxc6 Rxf1+ 28. Kxf1 bxc6
This is a won endgame for white

 
29. Qxh7+
picking up a few pawns

 
29... Kf6 30. Qh8+ Ke7 31. Qxd4 Bd7 32. Qg7+ Kd6 33. h4
advancing the h pawn. There is little black can do

 
33... a5 34. Qd4+ Kc7 35. h5 axb4 36. Qxb4
this leaves the past pawn on the -a file

 
36... Be8 37. Qe7+ Bd7 38. h6
keeps advancing

 
38... Re8
black loses controll. The pawn will queen

 
39. Qxe8 Bxe8 40. h7 Kd6 41. h8=Q Bd7 42. a4 c5 43. a5 Bc6
a pawn race. White's queen is ready for capure on c3 if needed

 
44. a6 Kd5 45. a7 e5 46. a8=Q
whites 3rd queen to win a B

 
46... Bxa8 47. Qxa8+ Ke6
this blunders a pawn

 
48. Qc6+ Kf5 49. Qxc5 Ke4 50. Ke2
now it is just about winning the pawn and mating the black king

 
50... Kf4 51. Qd5 e4 52. Qd4
zugzwang

 
52... Kf5 53. Ke3 Ke6 54. Kxe4
simple K Q endgame

 
54... Ke7 55. Qb6 Kd7 56. Ke5 Ke7 57. Qc7+ Ke8 58. Kf6 Kf8 59. Qb8#
a very good game. Any questions to sf115
