24... gxf6

Now black takes back. Although black is a pawn up, it is doubled, and hard to convert to a win.

25. Rc8+

This is an interesting move, offering the exchange of rooks in an unusual way.

25... Bxc8

Which black accepts.

26. Kxg2

and white takes back.

26... Bb7+

Black throws in a check.

27. Kf2

and white wisely avoids the bishop exchange. With bishops on it is harder for black to win.

27... Bc6

Presumably to prevent a3-a4 and a pawn exchange on b5.

28. Bc2

white hits the pawn on h7.

28... f5

Black blocks the attack.

29. Ke2

White centralises his king more.

29... Ke7

Black's king follows him across.

30. Kd2

White moves the king over again, avoiding Kd3? Be4+

30... Kd7

Not sure why black picked this square rather than d6.

31. Kc3

King is heading for the centre.

31... Kc7

I'm not sure what black is trying to do.

32. Kd4

King comes up into he centre.

32... Kd6

and the black king comes up to meet him.

33. Bd3

and the white king refuses to give way.

33... f6

so black tries the only way possible.

34. h4

refusing to move the king again.
