28. g3 h6 29. Rd5 Rd8
I don't want that pawn to advance if he doubles his rooks on the d file.

30. Bc6 h5 31. a5
Now he's going to try to promote that pawn too. Great...

 
31... Nc7
Threatening his rook and not allowing the a4 pawn advance.

32. Rd2 Kf7
Another time killer.

33. Bb7 f4
Creating some sort of counter play on the king side.

 
34. g4 hxg4 35. fxg4 Ke6 36. c4 Bxh4
Attacking his king side is my only hope.

 
37. Rh1 Be7
Or not

 
38. Kb3
?? Big blunder as it allows for a free bishop!

 
38... Rb8 39. d8=N+
My opponent was probably going to lose this pawn anyway but the move is just a stall I believe.

 
39... Bxd8 40. Rh8
While that move looks great, it becomes killer for my opponent later on.

 
40... Rxb7+ 41. Ka4 Be7
getting my bishop out of harms way.

 
42. Rc2
probably looking to push that pawn, but my opponent does not see the trap I have

 
42... Rb4+
His only move is Ka3

 
43. Ka3 Rb8+
Discovered check! Now after having a losing position I have completely turned the tables.

 
44. Ka2 Rxh8 45. c5 Ra8
He cannot defend the a5 pawn.

 
46. c6 Rxa5+ 47. Kb3 Rc5
He either trades or loses his pawn.

 
48. Rxc5 Bxc5 49. Kc4 Kd6
Defending my bishop.

 
50. g5 f3
A queen would be nice

 
51. Kd3 e4+ 52. Kxe4
Taking was a mistake, as it allows the promotion.

 
52... f2 53. Kf4 f1=Q+ 54. Kg4 Kxc6 55. Kg3
Now there is a forced mate in 3.
