41. Re1
White is totally pressed into defending..

 
41... Rc5
A double-attack..

 
42. Rd1
Only possibility.. He can't get to my king through the f-line, and his h-pawn is (temporary) out of play..

 
42... Rxb5
Sure !

 
43. Nd3
A serious blunder ! I noticed my opponent (a 82 year-old chess-player with a lot of experience) was getting tired of thinking, and his nerves started to break in the endgame.. In my opinion, it was his purpose to trade of our knights..

43... Rxd5
Ouch.. A safe move, since Nxe5+ and Nc5+ would both result in respectively Rxe5 or Rxc5..

44. Nxe5+
I guess he missed Rxe5, and hoped to win my rook, if 44. ... dxe5 ?! would be played..

 
44... Rxe5
After this move, my opponent instantly resigned.. I really like this game, because it opened my eyes for some tactics, positional play (remember the switching of my knights to c5 and e5 ?), gaining pawns, ... I hope you people also had some pleasure with watching this game ? Please let me know ! :) Take care and enjoy your day !
