23... Bd4 24. Bxd4 cxd4 25. Rd3xd4
ok material is even now, this is postion, White has 3 pawns for knight while Black has 2 isloated pawns.

 
25... Ke6 26. Re1 Re8 27. Kc2 Rc7 28. Red1 Kf7 29. Re1
?

 
29... d5 30. e5 dxc4 31. Red1 Ng4 32. Rd4d7+
White want to exchange one rook, may be it gives some relief.

 
32... Re7 33. Rxe7+ Rxe7 34. Rd6 h5 35. g3
! h3 was bad, as after Ne3 Kc3 Nxg2 and then threatening f4. Now if Black takes the pawn Nxh3 then Rh6 and then Rh7 gives good tactical possibiliteis.

 
35... Kg7 36. Rd2 Kg6 37. Kc3
White wants to play h3 but Ne3 with Check is annoying.

 
37... b5 38. h3 Ne3 39. Rd6+ Kg7 40. h4
there was another good interesing line, that is Kd4, but it was not giving 100% winning chances, Kd4 Nf5 Kd5 NxR KxR attacking R ... etc ...

 
40... Nf5 41. Rd1 Kf7 42. Rg1 Ke6 43. g4 Nxh4 44. gxh5
White's targes is capturing all Black's pawns as there will no hope of win to Black specially this h5 (outside Pawn) was dangerous.

 
44... Kf5 45. Kb4 a6 46. Ka5 Re6 47. Rd1
Rf1 was good. may be .... but White calculated some wrong so ...

 
47... Kxf4 48. Rd6 Kxe5 49. Rxe6+ Kxe6 50. Kxa6
?? this is pure blunder!

 
50... b4 51. Kb5 c3
!! and pawn ... ... passed away

 
52. bxc3 bxc3 53. h6 c2 54. h7 Ng6 55. a4 c1=Q 56. a5 Qc7 57. a6 Kd5 58. a7 Qb7+ 59. Ka4 Kc4 60. Ka3 Qb3#
