it is better to move your king up to d7 so that you can bring your rooks into the fight

the openning of the e-file will be wonderful for my rook

 
23... exf5 24. Rfe1+ Kf7 25. Rac1
I did see 25. Re7+ however after 25. ...Kf6 I am lacking the resoureces to force a mate so I bring the other rook into the fight. I alway make a habit of attacking with all my pieces and you should make that a habit as well. It will improve your win rate.

 
25... Rhd8
Exchanging rooks in order to remove some attackers for the board is better for I.e 25. ...Rhe8 26. Rxe8( 26. Rc7+ Kg8!) Rxe8 27. Rc7+ Re7 28. Rxe7 Kxe7 and I still have the win but I have to work harder for it.
