51. Ke4
The king finally advances to the centre of the battlefield.

 
51... Nf7
Knight retreats.

 
52. Kd5
King moves in for the kill.

 
52... Ng5
Knight temporarily prevents my king getting to e6, but his knight is not secure on this square.

 
53. Kd6
My king heads for e7

 
53... Nf3
He hits my pawn.

 
54. h3
It advances.

 
54... Ng5
He hits it again.

 
55. h4
So I advance again.

 
55... Nf3
He hits again.

 
56. h5
Now its safe.

 
56... Nd2
His knight almost looks like it is trying to solve the ancient task of visiting every square on the board!

 
57. Bd3
I try to restrict its movements.

 
57... Nf3
So he comes back this way.

 
58. Ke6
King finally reaches e6.

 
58... Ne5
Knight returns to e5.

 
59. Be2
I restrict its movements again.

 
59... Nc6
Not sure what he was thinking -the position is hopeless!

 
60. Bb6
Black has virtually run out of moves now. next move I am going to play my Bb6 to either d4 or d8 and then win the f pawn, so black resigned. Many thanks for reading my annotation. Please leave a comment or two. Did I miss any better moves anywhere? I wouldn't be too surprised! Please rate the annotation on the start system, so that I know how I am getting on. Until next time dear reader!
