Starting the plan. I figured that if I got my f g and h pawns up to the 4th rank, I could force a mate with either f5 or h5. His bishop won't interfere because it would either take too long or he would lose it. Same deal with his rook. |

I think that he was hoping to eventually promote, but I never gave him the opportunity. |

I get my third pawn up to the 4th file. Now, almost every move will result in a mate, but he still has one out... |

... which he doesn't take. He realized that I could mate with my f-pawn, but couldn't also stop the h-pawn. If he had played h6, he could have slipped his king back into the corner, and I would've been totally lost. |

Fortunately, he didn't, and I was able to put the finishing touch on my plan. |
