23. cxd5
Take.

 
23... Rxd5
Take.

 
24. Rxf5
Take.

 
24... Kd7
All was calculated.

 
25. d4
Cracking open the center and my Rook is going to open up.

 
25... c5
If he sleeps then I can get in exd4 , Kc4 Rxf5.

 
26. Kc4
Remember before? I want to trade everything off and push my powerful pawns in the center forward.

 
26... Rxd4+ 27. Rxd4+ cxd4
Look at that pawn chain.

 
28. b4
Here he comes.

 
28... Kd6
cutting off his king. direct opposition would result in a check.

 
29. h4 a6
his king is totally cut off now.

 
30. a4
trying to create a passed pawn.

 
30... b6
any move results in a freeze.

 
31. b5 a5
pawns are frozen but more importantly he is in zugzwang. my goal once he started moving those pawns. remember to count the moves out. zugzwang sucks, especially for the opponent.

 
32. Rf3
Any king move and I'd push into the center with my king. Now I can open up.

 
32... Rg6 33. Rf5 Ke6
attacks the Rook but....

 
34. Rxh5
BLUNDER. Sike. Look at his king. His rook is totally out of the game now.

 
34... Rg3
oops. Where can he go now.

 
35. Rh8
Doesn't matter where he goes. His only option would be a check on e5 but pawn take or king take results in the same.
