14. e5
Now I had enough attack to push the pon forward

 
14... Ng4 15. Qe2
Defending the bishop

 
15... dxe5
Exchanging pons

 
16. fxe5
Exchanging pons

 
16... Nxe3
My opponent didn't take the e5 pon because it would be the same equal exchange. 16...Nxe5 17. Nxe5 Bxe5 18. Bxa7. Maybe next he would take the c3 with a check and still keep the won pon but he would have almost no pieces around his king to defend.

 
17. Qxe3
I take the knight

 
17... Qc7
Forces me to keep my queen and defend the pon on e5

 
18. O-O
Not much to do else in that position

 
18... Rad8
At that time black was preparing to attack by alining the rooks of the d line.

 
19. Rad1
I did the same

 
19... Rd7 20. Rd2 Rfd8 21. a3
At that time I didn't think it was ergent to defend the bishop so I just didn't move my second rook.

 
21... Rd7d5
Attacks the pawn and soon wins it.

 
22. Re1
Still defending the pawn

 
22... Qd7
Let's go of the pawn and attacks for the bishop

 
23. Red1
Forced to defend

 
23... h5 24. Qxa7
I didn't see that pawn at first and hezitated wheter to take it or not but I remebered that for sure I am going to lose the pawn on e5 so I kind of had no choice if I wanted to win this game.

 
24... Qc7 25. Qe3
Black is not in the hurry to take the pawn because they have it gurenteed to win it.

 
25... c5 26. Bc4
Black is getting ready for a big attack so I didn't want to let it happen. I was forced to move my bishop and exchange the rooks.

 
26... Rd5xd2
Exchanging rooks

 
27. Rxd2
Exchanging rooks
