21. Rc2
With the idea of coming across to the d file also to support the d pawn advance.

24... Qxf6
He takes the knight.

 
25. Rxd7
I take the rook. I had looked at this position before, which is a reason why I played g2-g3 so that in this position so that he couldn't now take my pawn on f4.

 
25... Rd8
He tries to contest the d file.

 
26. Rxd8+
So I take.

 
26... Nxd8
he takes back.

 
27. Rxc7
Gameknot criticises this move too, preferring 27. e5 Qb6+ 28. Rc5 Ne6 29. Qd7 Bc6 30. Qe7 Be4 31. f5 Ng5 32. h4 Nf3+ 33. Kf2 Qb8 34. Qxf7+ Kh8 35. f6 gxf6 36. exf6 Qa7 37. Qg8# but this looks good. If he checks on b6 I can drop my rook back to c5 and if Ne6 I can take his knight with my bishop.

 
27... Bxe4
Computer prefers Qb6+ 28. Rc5 Bxe4 29. Qd4 Bg6 30. g4 Kf8 31. f5 Bh7 32. Qd7 Bg8 33. a4 bxa4 34. Bxa4 g6 35. Kf1 Kg7 36. fxg6 Qxb4

 
28. Rc8
This is a winning pin now.

 
28... Qb6+
The checks start at last.

 
29. Kf1
Forced!

 
29... Bg2+
I hadn't considered this! Now if I take he has Qb7+ winning the rook on c8.

 
30. Ke1
So the king moves instead.

 
30... Qe3+
Another check.
