27... Nf2+
Black tries to save his knight

 
28. Kg1 Nd1
Still trying to save his knight.

 
29. Rxh6+
I am going to lose that rook anyway, so I might as well win a pawn with it.

 
29... Kxh6 30. Rd3
Black's knight is finally trapped, and I will have the advantage since a bishop and knight (2 attacking forces) is usually better against a lone rook (1 defensive force).

 
30... a6 31. Bc1+
My bishop needs to free the a3 square for my knight

 
31... Kg7 32. Na3 Rxf7
My bishop is pinned

 
33. Rxd1 Rff8 34. Rf1
Trading pieces is good for the side with more material.

 
34... Rxf1+
Black must trade or leave his rook for me to take it, otherwise my rook will dominate the f-file

 
35. Kxf1 Bc7 36. Bb2+ Kh7 37. e5
My pawn's path to promotion is clear, and it will promote soon.

 
37... b5 38. e6
I usually just ignore moves that don't interfere with my plans

 
38... g5 39. cxb5
Black can't take my bishop because I will play e7 and promote next move.

 
39... Kg6 40. Be4+
This move gets Black's king away from the action so that it cannot stop my pawn

 
40... Kh6 41. e7 Re8 42. Bf6
Black is now hopelessly lost. There is no defense to my threat of Bc6.

 
42... Bd6 43. Bc6
Black resigned because he must trade his rook for my f6 bishop to stop the pawn, but then I will play bxa6 and have yet another passed pawn ready to promote!
