23... Ba6 24. Nc1 Qh5 25. Qg2 Rdf8
preparing f5.

 
26. Be2 Qg6 27. g4
temporarily disallowing pawn breaks. drawback is that h4 and f4 become weak and are perfect squares for knights.

 
27... h5 28. Bd3
taking the pawn leads to weak isolated pawn on h file.

 
28... Rgh8 29. Bg3 Rh7
doubling the h file. i will initiate the pawn exchange when all my pieces are set up to penetrate white's structure. white cannot organize his pieces to defend.

 
30. Ne2 Rfh8 31. Kd2 Nf8
plan to hop into h4 and f4.

 
32. Rb2 Nd7 33. Nc1 Ne8
one knight needs to be at d7 to defend b6 in case white double his rooks.

 
34. Nb3 Nef6 35. Kc1 Nf8 36. Nd2 Nf6d7 37. Rf2 Qf6 38. Nf1
white's trying to get his knight to f5.

 
38... Ng6 39. Ne3 hxg4
the moment's ripe to exchange pawn.

 
40. hxg4
forced. otherwise h3 is too weak.

 
40... Nf4
strange at first to exchange my knight for his near useless bishop but i see a way to force material gain.

 
41. Bxf4 exf4
open up e5 for the other knight to use.

 
42. Nd1
forced, i was threatening his knight and the pawn at c3.

 
42... Ne5
the pawn at c4 is lost.

 
43. Kc2 Nxc4
again, allowing white to exchange his ineffective bishop for my powerful knight. but the situation is open enough now that my light bishop should prove useful than his remaining knight which doenst have a lot of space to move around.

 
44. Bxc4 Bxc4 45. Qg1 Rh7h1
my bishop and rooks are restricting his heavy pieces.

 
46. Qg2 Re1
doubling on rank 8!

 
47. Rb1 Rhh1 48. Rd2 Qh6 49. Rb2
blunder. lead to loss of the knight after a forced sequence. but the position is lost for white.

 
49... Reg1 50. Qf2 Rgf1 51. Qg2 Rhg1 52. Qh2 Qxh2 53. Rxh2 Rfxd1
if 54.Rh7 trying to counterattack then rdf1 threatens mate win.
