Black wants to trade rooks by playing Ra2. I need to try and avoid that so... I actually thought that black would try pushing the pawn here.

I didn't realise this at the time but this actually allows white to win back a piece. 48.Rxd3!

My position has gradually started to improve. And now black is going to find it hard to win.

Now the queen is practically trapped on the back rank. Blacks knight is also frozen in place his rooks and king dont have mush good moves either, black is nearly in zungzwang!

forced. I would love to play Rff2 here but unfotunatly that means black could play Ng4+. so the idea for white is to move his king. Also Rc2 comes into consideration where a queen trade is practially forced and white can go about setting up something of a fortress.

?! this was the wrong square for the king, instead Kg2! and black is scrathing his head and very nearly is in zungzwang.This allows blacks queen to escape the backrank.

?? I had even worked out that this was impossible because of f5 but I just forgot that and did this anyway. A shame really as I feel I had put up a good fight and had quite a nice position for a while there.
