43... Nc5
(?) Black exchanges this defending piece and loses a pawn.

 
44. Ndxc5 bxc5 45. Nxc5
This knight now has two winning places to go: e6 and d7.

 
45... g4
!? Another move which I wasn't prepared of, attacking my queen. Looks like it has to move away and Black then has a discovered check ...gxh3+, but again, like before in move 34, the rook doesn't need defence, as the queen-sac-and-rebirth trick is still going on on g7. So I can offer to exchange queens.

 
46. Qxg4 Qxg4+ 47. Kxg4
Having this clear advantage in material (2 pawns and 2 pieces for a rook), plus a passed pawn on the 7th rank which can't be eliminated without further loss of material, Whites win is ensured.

 
47... Kg7 48. Rxc6
And Black resigned.
