29... b5
Threat - b4 winning another pawn.

 
30. Rcd1
Threatening the bishop.

 
30... Bg4
White counter-attacks.

 
31. Ra1 Rc8c7 32. h3 Bc8 33. Ra3 a6
White is still in the game. the Bc8 has limited scope.

 
34. f5
And even less now.

 
34... Rd7 35. Re3 Rd1+ 36. Bf1 Bb7 37. Kf2 Rc8 38. h4 Rcd8 39. Kg1
This is a dreadful move, allowing black to obtain an overwhelming position.

 
39... Rd8d2
No neither white king nor white bishop can move.

 
40. g4
This is a slight error. better c4 immediately.

 
40... h6
To stop any more advances of the king side pawns.

 
41. Rb3
Again, c4 immediately was called for.

 
41... Kd6
This is a mistake. Better was Rc1 or Rc2 to prevent c4.

 
42. c4
so the break comes.

 
42... Bc6
I break the pin on the b file.

 
43. Rba3 Kc5 44. Rxa6 bxc4 45. Ra7
This is another mistake. White hasn't got the time to be chasing after the king side pawns. Best was Rc3.

 
45... Kd4 46. Rg3 c3
This pawn is coming!

 
47. Rc7
Computer thinks Rxc3 is better, but it is academic, this position is lost. I am not sure there is any need to comment on the rest.

 
47... c2 48. Rxc6 c1=Q 49. Rxc1 Rxc1 50. Rg2 Rdd1 51. Rf2 Kxe4 52. Kg2 Rdxf1 53. Rxf1 Rxf1 54. Kxf1 Kf3 55. Kg1 Kxg4 56. Kg2 Kxh4 57. Kf3 Kg5 58. Ke4 Kg4
and white, about to lose the last pawn throws in the sponge. Many thanks for reading. Please leave a comment or two and rate the annotation on the star system. Until next time dear reader!
