27... Rxd1 28. Nxd1 Rd8 29. Nf2 Nc5 30. Nd2 Bc8
Rerouting to a different spot where the Bishop will be more active.

 
31. Kf1
Not much for White to do. Still waiting for that presidential pardon...

 
31... Be6 32. Ke1 b5
It's 2 vs 3 and the Black team is winning.

 
33. h4 Kf7 34. Nf1 Bd5
34...Nb3 was a lot stronger but why not torment White for being greedy a little longer?

35. Ng3 Nb3 36. Rb1 Bc4 37. Ne2 Bxe2
I didn't want this Knight to reach d4 but instead 37...Bd3 was stronger.

 
38. Kxe2 h6
Opening another line of attack.

 
39. Kf1 hxg5 40. hxg5 Bf8 41. Ke2 Bc5 42. Nd1
Over protecting e3 but now the killer comes through the backdoor.

 
42... Rh8 43. Nf2 Rh2
White is now in zugzwang.

 
44. Kf1 Nxc1 45. Rxc1 Bxe3 46. Rc2 Ke6 47. Kg1 Rxf2 48. Rxf2 Kd5 49. Kf1 Bxf2
The king comes to c4 and it's all over. White had enough and resigned.
