31. Rae1
He doubles on the e file.

 
31... Rc7
So I switch to the c file.

 
32. Rc1
He protects.

 
32... Rec8
I double up. It is hard for him to defend, as Re2-c2 is met by Bb7-e4, chasing away a protector.

 
33. Nd4
So he resigns himself to the loss of one of his extra pawns and centralises his knight.

33... Rc7xc3
So I take.

 
34. Rxc3
he takes back.

 
34... Rxc3
I take him.

 
35. Rc2
He tries to exchange the other rooks - normally a good plan if you are materially ahead.

Although not given as a mistake by white, this looks wrong, giving black a strong passed pawn close to the queening square. PGCA now gives black a very small advantage.
