28. f4 Bf6 29. Rd1 d3
Taking the rook is bad as the rook is pretty useless. As well as this the pawns are strong with the rooks behind them.

 
30. Kf1 dxe2+ 31. Kxe2 Rxd1 32. Kxd1 Bxg5 33. Bxg5
After the chaos is over I am a rook for a pawn up. My opponent should resign. The rest is trivial.

 
33... Nd5 34. Ke2 Nb4 35. Bf6 Nd3 36. Ke3 Kf7 37. Bd4 a6 38. h4 Rb8 39. Bc3 Rxb3
another pawn is won.

 
40. g3 Nxb2
and another.

 
41. Kd4 Nxa4
and another.

 
42. Be1 Ke6 43. Kc4 Rb5 44. Kd4 Nc5 45. Kc4 Nd3
If this was a real game and i was short of time, I would swap the rook for the bishop to make it easier.

 
46. Bd2 Kd6 47. Be3 Rb4+ 48. Kc3 Kd5 49. Kc2 Kc4 50. Kd2 Rb2+ 51. Kd1 a5
White is forced backwards into a mating net.

 
52. Bd2 a4 53. Ke2 a3 54. h5 a2 55. hxg6 a1=Q 56. gxh7
white misses the mate. If he was being annoying, the longest way to mate was 56. Ke3 Qg1 57. Ke2 Qe1#

 
56... Qe1#
mate
