21... Bg4 22. dxc6
!!!

 
22... Bxd1 23. Rxd1 bxc6 24. Nxc6
The knight is immune, due to the discovered attack on the queen after 24...Qxc6 25. Nf6 . A pawn and a bishop for the exchange and Black's pawns are wrecked. This would be more than enough compensation for the exchange, but now my knights take up permanent outposts on the 6th rank. White is winning.

 
24... Rd7 25. Qd3
d6 is falling soon.

 
25... Kh8
The knight is now hanging.

 
26. Nxd6
Discovered defense!

 
26... Re6 27. c5
The knights setup camp and decide to stay for a while.

 
27... f5 28. a4
No immediate tactics, but if you look to the queenside, you will see that the plan of a4, a5, b5, b6 and after the exchange, b7 b8=Q, can't be stopped without sacrifice!!! Black is paralysed.

 
28... h6 29. a5 Nh7 30. b5 Rdxd6
The realization sets in.

 
31. cxd6 Qd7 32. Nb8 Qd8 33. d7
Here Black resigns as he can't stop the promotion of the pawn, without further sacrifice.
