36... Kh6
So i move over here. Still, this is a pretty dangerous area for my king as now i don't have anywhere to go.

 
37. Rc1c6
Pins my g pawn to my king. I'm still in quite rough shape.

 
37... Rb8
Protecting myself from the very imposing pawn.

 
38. g4
My king has no where to run to. I have to take otherwise g5 Kh5 Rh7#.

 
38... fxg4 39. hxg4 Rxe3
Now i reduced the material advantage to one pawn and it actually seems like i have a tiny shred of counter play going on.

 
40. f5
Piling up on the pinned pawn.

 
40... Kg5
Now i have an open file for my rook on the back rank. There is some light, although not much.

 
41. Rxg6+
I'm desperately trying to get some counter play, so that pawn is the least of my worries.

 
41... Kf4
Now it actually seems like i have some legitimate counter play going on.

 
42. Rgg7
? so after this move my opponent actually offered me a draw. Only a few moves ago i would of been eager to accept a draw, although now it seems as though i have a legitimate shot at this game.

42... Rxb6
So seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, i decide to play on. I have held on long enough and now i feel like i am back and better now than i have been all game.

 
43. Rcb7
trying to trade off rooks, however i am not remotely interested in that.

 
43... Rh6+
And just like that, my rooks are extremely active and his king has no protection from his pieces.

 
44. Kg2
Things are looking great for me now.

 
44... Rg3+ 45. Kf1
His fate is pretty much sealed now.

 
45... Rh1+
Here comes the hammer.

 
46. Kf2 Rh2+ 47. Kf1
So his king is stuck on the back rank and he has some serious problems.

 
47... Kf3
The winning move.

 
48. Rb3+
A desperate attempt to prevent the mate.

 
48... e3
However it is easily parried. And with this my opponent resigned, leaving my a kind message as well. So although i was down for pretty much the entire game, i held on and with a little luck managed to pull out a win. Thanks to drpat23 for playing a great game with me.
