29... Na6
He is. I won't lose my bishop pair...

 
30. Be3
Very safe spot.

 
30... Nc7 31. Bb3
Now the bishop pair seems a disadvantage instead than an advantage. Too many pawns on the board.

 
31... g5
Now, the bishops are uneasy to defend from the h pawn...

 
32. Nf3
I have to try to exchange pawns as quickly as possible to free my bishops.

 
32... Nxe4 33. Nxe5 Nxc3 34. Nxc6
Clearence done. Now I breathe.

 
34... Bf6
With few seconds left, I am in a typical situation where it is very easy to miss a knight's fork or something, so the tension is on the maximum. I won't have gone till here just to lose with a blunder.

 
35. Nd4 Nc7d5
Now, the blunder was his.

 
36. Ne6+ Kf7 37. Nxf8 Kxf8 38. Bc5+ Kg7
Ok, now I have a material point up, but what is the right path to follow to stop the pawn and don't lose the advantage in the process?

 
39. Ra1
Try to bother his king with my two bishops and the rook BEFORE his pawns gets really dangerous. Now, let's imagine, I was sweating. TWO knight looking for a dicovered chech so black can take my rook with the bishop. So it was not easy to dare.

 
39... Nf4+ 40. Kf1
...Would I have forgot something? No checks? Fine! :_)

 
40... Ne4 41. Ra7+ Kh8 42. Ra8+ Kg7
Superb. If Kh7, Bc2. Remember that we are few seconds left on a blitz.

 
43. Bf8+
Or Rg8?

 
43... Kg6 44. Bc2 Kf5 45. Re8
Incredible. His pieces are all squeezed, in a good position, and still they are weak.

 
45... Be5
It seems a chess composition.

 
46. f3 Ne6 47. Bxe4+ Kf6
I can still lose a piece very easily if I am careless, but if now I move the rook (Rb8, say) to Kf7, Bd5. Anyway, my opponent resigned here. A pity for two mistakes. but over all an interesting game for my standards... :-)
