23... gxh5
I take back.

 
24. Qd3
White is trying to win the d6 pawn and black can't really guard it. I decide to try to set a trap instead.

 
24... Qc7
Defending the pawn one time.

 
25. Rad1
Adding another attacker.

 
25... Ne6
Here my plan is to play Nd4 and trap a piece after black takes the pawn.

 
26. Qxd6
Wins a pawn.

 
26... Qxd6
I exchange in order to trap the rook.

 
27. Rxd6
He recaptures.

 
27... Nd4
Now the rook is trapped. The bishop is under attack and I can play Kf7 and Bf8 and win the rook.

 
28. Bxh5
This is tactic that doesn't work. After the game, my opponent told me that he missed the fork on f3.

 
28... Nxh5
I take the bishop and now my bishop is unguarded.

 
29. Rxd7
Takes my bishop and is up two pawns. There is just one problem.

 
29... Nf3+
This is what my opponent missed.

 
30. Kh1
Forced.

 
30... Nxe1
And I win the exchange. I have a rook for a knight and two pawns, but my pieces can coordinate better.
