23. Ra3
But he hits it anyway.

 
23... a4
I protect.

 
24. Bc6
This was the move I missed when I took on a2. He is getting his pawn back, but he is also exchanging his strong Bishop on g2.

 
24... Qc7
I offered a draw, which he declined.

 
25. Bxa4
He takes.

 
25... Bxa4
I take.

 
26. Rxa4
He takes back.

 
26... Rfe8
So I thought it was time to mobilise this rook. Computer still likes b6-b5.

 
27. b4
This is a good move from him, giving him queen side opportunities.

 
27... Rba8
Seeking rook exchanges.

 
28. Qa2
He backs up his rook.

 
28... Qc6
Protecting Ra8 and attacking Ra4

 
29. Ra1
He now trembles on the a file. Exchanges are best.

 
29... Rxa4
So I take.

 
30. Qxa4
He takes back.

 
30... Qxa4
I take again.

 
31. Rxa4
He takes back again.

 
31... Bf6
Played with the idea of protecting my queen side pawns with either Be7 or Bd8.

 
32. Ra6
He attacks b6. I probably should just play Bd8 as planned now, I think I was afraid of 33. bxc5 bxc5 34. Rc6 but I have simply Be7

 
32... Re6
So I do this instead.
