36. Ke3
Played to protect d4, but I think this is a blunder, for reasons we shall see. I think I need to get my king to c3 to protect the d pawn. However I can't move Kd3 because then e6-e5 wins a pawn for him. So I think my best move was Rd2 followed by Kd1-c2-c3.

36... Nf4
His knight comes in.

 
37. a3
I stabilize the position of the queen-side pawns.

 
37... Bg7
But help! He is threatening f7-f5 winning my rook on e4.

38. Kd2
So I have to give it a flight square, in the process giving up the d pawn.

 
38... Bxd4
So he takes.

39. Kc2
I threaten his bishop.

 
39... Bf6
The bishop retreats. I think this is a mistake and simply e6-e5 leaves him a clear pawn up.

 
40. Rxd8+
I take.

 
40... Bxd8
He takes back.

 
41. h4
I rush to exchange pawns, being a pawn down now.

41... Ng6
This is a blunder too. The knight is needed on f4 in order to block the d file on d5.
