33. Rg7+
This wins at least one extra pawn.

 
33... Kf8
Another mistake, returning the king to the back rank is suicidal. It is lost, but 33.....Kd6 puts up a better fight.

Another one bites the dust! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE

 
35... Nd3+
Black throws in the check.

 
36. Kc2
White attacks the knight.

 
36... Nxf2
Black gets a pawn back. I was getting quite excited here. We were 2-0 up in a four board match, so we only needed a win or a draw here to win the match, and I was confident that Willy could win this.

Knight returns to the king side. White's h pawn is not going anywhere now.

 
40. c4
So white just advances his c pawn instead.
