21. Nd4
I hadn't seen this move. If I take the knight, his queen takes my bishop and my pawn formation is ruined.

This is forced.

 
24. Qxc6
White takes back.

Offering the queen exchange. Fritz recommends Ra-c8 instead.

Fritz recommends exchanging queens, but this is probably a better practical chance.

 
25... Ra7
Fritz prefers Rf7 instead.

I missed this. White gets his pawn back now.

 
28... Rf6
Fritz gives this as best.

 
29. Nd7
The only move.

 
29... Rxe6
Forced. I offered a draw which was accepted. Fritz now gives a small advantage to white (plus 0.34). Many thanks for reading. Please let me know what you think of this annotation. Grade it on the star system and leave a comment or two. Until next time dear reader!
