22. Kxg2 g5 23. Rf1 Kg7
Breaking the pin on the f pawn.

 
24. Rf3
Threatening Rxe3, winning the bishop as the d pawn is pinned.

 
24... Kg6
Breaking the pin on the d pawn.

 
25. c4
? (Bad move) c3, contesting the d pawn, would be better. This just blockades the white bishop and removes it from the game.

 
25... f5 26. exf5+ Rxf5 27. Rh3 g4
Rf2 looks interesting, but capturing the bishop is unnecessary, and pushing the passed pawns is more important.

 
28. Rh1 Rf2+
I don't remember why I decided to capture the bishop, but like i just mentioned, it's causing no trouble and should be left alone. Fortunately, I remembered that before my next move. Rf8, Rh8, or h5 are all better.

 
29. Kg3
Kg1 Raf8 would confine the king to the back rank while the pawns marched forward to crush him.

 
29... h5 30. Kh4
?? (Blunder) This invites certain death. After Rf3, the king is confined and cannot escape mate.

 
30... Rf3
! (Good move) Taking advantage of white's blunder.

 
31. Rf1
Preventing Bf2#, but Bg5# still exists, as well as...

 
31... Rh3#
0-1 Please feel free to message me if you have comments, questions, or find any mistakes.
