g5 53.e6+ Kd8 54.Kc6 h5 55.e7+ 1-0

Position after 24.Rfc1:

[D]r1r3k1/1p4b1/2qpbppp/pN6/3P4/P3P2P/3NQPP1/1RR3K1 b - - 0 24

Here Crafty traded it's queen for two rooks. The thin edge of the wedge IMO.

24...Qxc1+ 25.Rxc1 Rxc1+ 26.Kh2 Rc6

[D]r5k1/1p4b1/2rpbppp/pN6/3P4/P3P2P/3NQPPK/8 w - - 0 27

27.Qd3! Here is the initiative. 27...Bf7 28.e4 Rac8

[D]2r3k1/1p3bb1/2rp1ppp/pN6/3PP3/P2Q3P/3N1PPK/8 w - - 0 29

29.Qg3! The bishop pair stuck. 29...Bf8 30.d5

[D]2r2bk1/1p3b2/2rp1ppp/pN1P4/4P3/P5QP/3N1PPK/8 b - - 0 30

30...Rc2? The losing move IMO. 30...Ra6! and black can fight on.

Position after 36.Rgf2:

[D]6k1/1p3b2/5Qpp/p2P4/4PK2/P4N1P/2r2r2/8 w - - 0 37

37.d6! and no more defense.

I enjoyed this game as a player, it's always a pleasure to beat a strong
engine.
