30. Qd2 Rxe6 31. Qd5
Creating a second pin but this time on the diagonal.

 
31... Qe7
? I had to waste my next move cause I didn't play Qf7 on this move

 
32. Ba4
To add pressure to the Bishop now.

 
32... Qf7
To allow the Rook to cover the Bishop and to break off the pin on the diagonal. But unfortantly it did not quite work because of....

 
33. Bxe8
The fact that I would lose my Rook by doing 33. Rxe8 34. Rxe8 and I can't do Qxe8 because the Black Queen is pinned to the Black King by the White Queen.

 
33... Re1+ 34. Kg2 Qxd5+
I have no other choices.

 
35. cxd5
recapturing...

 
35... Re5
To threaten to take the d pawn and gain a very important passed pawn.

 
36. Bc6+
White supports the pawn and at the same time it is check by the White Rook.

 
36... Kf7
I was thinking that I was going to lose the game around this point because I was a whole bishop down. But I decided to play on and hope for the best ( which is exacly what happened!!)

 
37. f4
Attacking my Rook

 
37... Re2+
It is check

 
38. Kf3
Attacking my Rook again

 
38... Rd2 39. a4
He started to run his passed pawn and around this point I feared that not much can be done to stop it so I.....

 
39... c4
Advanced my passed pawn as well

 
40. Rb8
To allow the Rook to get to b1 to attempt to stop the passer and to allow the a8 destination square avalible for the white pawn.

 
40... c3
Running the passed pawn

 
41. Rb4
White should have played 41. Rb1 which is more defensive.

 
41... Rd3+
I wanted to get his King to the 2nd rank so I would gain check at the same time. But I was not expecting White to drop a pawn by his next move.

 
42. Ke2 Rxg3 43. a5 Rg2+
I played this so I could have a possibility to advance the c-pawn or to threaten to exchange the very critical rook with Rb2 which is what I played in the game.
