22. Rd1
I didn't realize d5, threatening the knight. Difficult to say if it is good or bad.

 
22... a5 23. Nd3
The idea is that I can recover the pawn in c5, but...

 
23... bxc4 24. Nxe5 dxe5 25. Qxc4
Hm. Now my position is worse, with three separated pawns and no piece coordination.

 
25... Qc7 26. Qc5 a4
It is very, very difficult to play a game like this. Every movement can be the last. I made a couple of such movement, an more will do.

 
27. b4
Now, this is nice and interesting. Look.

 
27... Rfb8
Why not? NO inmediate threat is on the kingside. And now I win some tempoes.

 
28. a3 Rb5 29. Qc3 c5
And now I expand. My weak pawn has become in a couple of moves a fierce lion.

 
30. bxc5
White should have kept the tension with Rc1. I cannot take the pawn since it is pinned to my queen.

 
30... Rxc5
That helps me.

 
31. Qd2 Qb6
Preparing a tactic if white is careless.

 
32. Kh1 Rac8
I didn't know exactly what to play, I confess, and this seemed solid.

 
33. Rf3
Now I have to take seriously the white threat on f7, of course.

 
33... Rc5c7
This is "seriously".

 
34. Rdf1 Rf8
Even if it doesn't need it, I know that on the long term my rook will begin to f8.

 
35. Rf3f6 Rc6 36. Rf6f3
White takes care of a possible Qb3, freeing my a pawn.

 
36... Kg7 37. Qd5
Now, white is getting very annoying, all of a sudden. Was I careless?

 
37... Re6 38. Qd7
Another hard choice.

 
38... Qd6
I couldn't see any better on a blitz. I lost my a pawn, and now white has arguments to win.

 
39. Rf3xf7+
but he prefers to do this. Of course!

 
39... Rxf7 40. Rxf7+ Kh6 41. Rxh7+ Kg5 42. h4+ Kg4
Ok, white, you have won. But now?
