31. Nxc5
Another pawn goes, and he has 2 pawns for the exchange so in theory material is equal, but his Bc1 and Ra1 are out of play.

I attack the knight

32. Ne6
Knight returns to e6

 
32... Bb4
The point of this move is, amongst over things, preventing him from playing b2-b3 followed by Bb2

 
33. Kg3
With the idea of Kf2 driving my Re1 off his back rank.

33... Bxc3
I had a plan to stop this.

 
34. bxc3
He takes back.

 
34... Ne4+
This stops his plan of getting in Kf2 and driving my room off his back rank.

35. Bxe4
He takes.

 
35... Bxe4
I take back.

 
36. Kf2
He attacks my rook.

 
36... Rh1
But it can stay on his back rank. Now 37. Bb2 loses a couple of pawns to Rh2+ 38. Ke3 Bxd5 39. Nc7 Bc4 and his h pawn is dropping.

 
37. c4
Protecting his d pawn

 
37... Rc8
Attacking the c pawn.

 
38. Bb2
A bid for freedom!

40... Rxb2
But I can just take this. If now 41. Nxe4 Rb3+. Black has a massive advantage now. The game is effectively over, and I give the remaining moves without comment.
