33. bxc5
So he takes.

 
33... bxc5
I take back.

 
34. Rxe6
He takes.

 
34... fxe6
I take back. I should be able to draw this, although white has slight advantages, in the my queen side pawns are fixed on black squares, and my e pawn is isolated. However, at present it stops his king from reaching d5.

35. g4
This is a good move, giving his bishop more room, and gaining space on the king side.

 
35... Be7
I reposition my bishop to attack his pawn on f4.

 
36. Kg2
He moves his king up.

 
36... Bd6
I attack his pawn.

 
37. Kf3
He defends it.

 
37... Kf7
I move my king up.

 
38. h3
He gets his h pawn off the h2-b8 diagonal, where it may be vulnerable to my bishop on d6.

 
38... h6
I want to play Kf7-f6 and be able to meet Bh4+ with g6-g5.

39. Ke4
Centralising his king.

 
39... Kf6
I move my king up.

 
40. Bg3
Leaving me rather short of moves. Nicely played by him!

 
40... Bc7
So I retreat my bishop.

 
41. Bh4+
He throws in a check. Computer prefers 41. g5+

 
41... g5
Computer doesn't like this move and prefers Kf7.

 
42. fxg5+
He takes.

 
42... hxg5
I take back.
