34... f5
black opens his fortress, intending to attack the white castle. But does black have enough troops?

 
35. Nd2 Rc2 36. Nf3 Rxe2 37. Rxe2 Bf6 38. Nd5
yo, i like these 2 knigts!

 
38... Qg7 39. Qxg7+
i decided that i had enough troops to destroy th 2 pawns, IF the queens disappear.

 
39... Bxg7 40. Re6
i am proud of the next few moves, because i think there is nothing black can do against it.

 
40... Rd8 41. Ng5 Kg8 42. Ne7+ Kf8 43. Nxh7+ Kf7 44. Ng5+ Kf8 45. Nxg6+ Kg8 46. Ne7+
I would have resigned, as black, here.

 
46... Kf8 47. Nxf5
Now, not only has white recuperated his pawns, but white is one pawn ahead and threatening the d6 pawn.

 
47... d5
quite obvious, and I had made a conditional move here...

 
48. Rc6
counting on Bd4, then Nxd4... bye bye horses, but what a work

48... Re8
ah... deciding to lose one more pawn?

 
49. Ne6+
but i have better: here i win the bishop or a new quality!

 
49... Rxe6
it will be the quality!

 
50. Rxe6
who wouldn't have resigned... not dgrandman, apparently. I felt quite annoyed here, thinking I could make some mistake and give him a draw...

 
50... Bc3 51. Ne3 d4 52. Nd1
prohibiting any possibility of promotion

 
52... Bd2 53. Rd6
go on the left, i take the right, and vice versa.

53... Ke7 54. Rd5 Bb4 55. Kf3 Ke6 56. Ke4
now black has really nothing more... resigned?

 
56... Ba3
no... boring...

 
57. f4 Kf6 58. g4 Bb4 59. h4 Be1 60. h5 c4 61. Rxd4 c3
i could have given my knight for the last pawn, but i decided he made such a good job that i didn't want to lose him.

 
62. Rc4
if c2, pawn is dead.

 
62... Bd2 63. g5+ Kf7 64. Rc7+ Kg8 65. h6 Kh8 66. g6
i sent a message: whatever move, is followed by Rc8x.

 
66... Bxf4
looks like he wanted to go to the last move.
