41. c4 a4
I could have chickened out with Rd6, but I wanted to be consistent.

 
42. Rb5 axb3+
Computer actually prefers a3, I would be interested in your views!

43. Kxb3 Re6
So this is the plan, to go after his King side pawns.

 
44. Kxb4 Re3
White can actually save the pawn with 45. Ra5+ and 46. Ra3 but after Re4 it is hard for him to make any progress. He decides on anothe plan.

49. Kb6 Rg1
Threatening Rb1+ winning

 
50. Rg7 Rb1+
He has nasty mate threats

 
51. Kc6 Ra1
I indirectly protect the g6 pawn. If 52. Rxg6?? Ra6+ wins.

Forced!

 
53. Rg7+ Kb8
i didn't want to go to a6 as then he can take the pawn on g6 safely

 
54. Kb6 Rb1+
