69... Kf6 70. Nf5
Now my knight can move on as it is no longer needed to protect my king back there.

A better position for my knight as it is unthreatened.

Provides a nice little outpost for my knight on e6.

75. Ra3
Kxh6 isn't sound after Bxh3.

 
75... Bd5 76. Kxh6
Now it is. Although Rb8 looks like it forces mate it does not.

 
76... Rb8 77. g5+
Due to this. I can now play this virtually forcing Kxf5 followed by Ng7 giving me 2 passed pawns and almost certainly a win.

 
77... Kxf5 78. Ng7+ Kf4 79. Nh5+
Making way for the g-pawn.

 
79... Kf5 80. Nf6
Making way for the h-pawn!

 
80... Bc6 81. h4 Rh8+
Does not win the h-pawn due to

 
82. Nh7 Rd8 83. h5
The pawns march on aswell as providing a useful block to Rd6

 
83... Rd6+ 84. g6 Kf4 85. Nf8
Making way for Kh7 to remove the pin on the g-pawn.

 
85... Kg4 86. Ra5
Protecting the h-pawn and allowing Kh7

 
86... Bd5
Cutting out my defence of the h-pawn.

 
87. Ra4+
Forcing the king away and bringing blacks resignation. Kh7 is now playable and black cannot prevent at least one of the pawns from queening!
