20. Kb1
! A good move. Now black is forced to excange pieces. A move like 20.fxg4? would have been a mistake 20. ... Nxg4 21.Qf3 Bxd3 22. Qxd3 Qxd3 23. cxd3 Nf2 and black regains his rook with 2 extra pawns.

20... Bxd3 21. Qxd3 Qxd3 22. cxd3 gxf3 23. Rh3
? A mistake. Rf1 would have been better.

23... d5
A good move if 24. Rxf3 dxe4 25. dxe4 Nxe4 and black is still in a good position. Or 24. exd5 Nxd5 25. Rxf3 Nc3 and black takes back his rook.

 
24. e5
White plays the best move.

 
24... Ng4
Blacks knight comes to protect the pawn with tempo.

 
25. d4 Ne3
Now we see why the 23. Rh3 was a mistake.

 
26. Rc1
? White had to play Rd-h1.

 
26... Rxc1+ 27. Kxc1 f2
! Now white is completely lost.

 
28. Rf3 f1=Q+ 29. Rxf1 Nxf1
And white resigns. Feel free to comment because my comments and analyzes can be wrong.
