42... Re8
I'm trying to set up a mating net, I think. 3 pieces all aimed at an unprotected king should be enough, right?

 
43. Re4 Rc8
Obvioulsy I couldn't trade. But now with this move, I see the potential advantages.

 
44. axb6
This is a blunder because...

 
44... Bxb6
There you go....Nick has to waste a tempo getting his rook out the way meanwhile my rook now has access to an open file.

 
45. Rae7
At this point, I didn't see the forced mate in 3. I originally saw the check at c2 forcing the king to the back rank and THEN winning the pawn at A2 and defending the pawn at A7.

 
45... Rc2+ 46. Ke1
I looked at Bishop A5 check but THEN I saw the ending combo...
