22. Nc2
i am no fool, i threaten that pawn with my horsy also, so i win the exchange.

 
22... Ne7
he tells me i take his pawn, he takes mine.

 
23. b4
get out of here bishop sir...

 
23... Bb6
OK

 
24. Nxd4
I am up a pawn after all that hard work, but he can take my pawn also. But i plan to move my horse up to his right side, "eating" some more of his pawns.

 
24... Nxd5
even steven.

 
25. Nf5
Instead, I could also do rook e5 etc. But I like what I do here, coz I threaten pawn at g7 and pin horse at d5 (he cannot move thanks to my rook at d1)

 
25... Kc6
Now he can take my pawn at b4 if i take his pawn at g7.

 
26. Ne7+
again, rook e5 may have been a better move (followed by taking his horse at d5) but all i thouoght about here was getting my rook up there so I could line up one of his pawns. He has been playing very good with no dumb moves, so my mindset was not on major pieces but on getting an advantage.

 
26... Nxe7
as expected.

 
27. Rxe7
rook "up there"

 
27... Rhe8
empty threats.

 
28. Rxf7
pawn ahead.

 
28... Ref8
more empty threats.

 
29. Rxf8
I could have taken the g7 pawn, but you see, he has a bishop pointing at my f2 pawn, so he could take that with his rook, complicating the matters.

 
29... Rxf8
he takes the rook back.

 
30. Be3
i protect my f2 pawn

 
30... Bc7
he does not want to exchange bishops because he is down one pawn.

 
31. h4 h5 32. Kg2
getting my king out of black squares.

 
32... Kb5
attacking my pawn
