37... h5 38. d6
Just an easy pawn push now.

 
38... Rd8 39. d7
Nearly there.

 
39... Kh7 40. Nc6
Inviting the rook to vacate the Queening square.

 
40... Rg8 41. g3
No point in letting him take my g pawn. The Queening can wait..he can't stop it.

41... h4 42. Rb8
I think this is the most efficient....I get to keep the Queen this way.

 
42... hxg3+
Doesn't do much but black has nothing else.

 
43. fxg3
I don't think can delay the inevitable for much longer.

 
43... Rxb8
I'm very surprised black hasn't resigned yet.

 
44. Nxb8
NxR Naturally.

 
44... Bd3 45. d8=Q
Obviously I must Queen the pawn.

 
45... Bxe4 46. Qxf6
Restrict the King as much as possible for a mating net.

 
46... Bg6
He's obviously playing for a draw by stalemate...not going to happen!

 
47. Nxa6
Just Queen another pawn and mate in the corner. OK He's had enough and resigns next move.
