I think Rcd7 is better sooner than later.} Rac8 22.Rcd7 Rfe8 23.e6 {A little trap set here, if fxe6, then Qg7 is mate. Likewise, Rxe6, then Qxf7+, Kh8, Qg7 mate.} Qxe6 {Qx is best.} 24.Qxe6 Rxe6 25.Kf1 Rce8 26.Rc7 Ne5 27.f3 {Spotted the knight sac, Nd3, that would be possible if the king was left. I also saw the knight had no where to go as f3 covers g4.} Nd3? {Jack said he went into 'auto pilot' here without realising the sac no longer worked. I know how that is; I've done that plenty of times myself.} 28.Rxd3 Re1+ 29.Kf2 R8e2+ 30.Kg3 Rxa2 31.Rdd7 Ree2 32.Rxf7 Rxg2+ 33.Kf4 Rxh2 34.Kg5 {There is actually no win with Rfd7 as it seemed to be. Didn't consider the pawn check on g5! It's perpetual checks after that.} Ra4 35.Rfd7 Rh5+ 36.Kf6 Rf5+ 37.Ke6 Rxf3 38.Rxh7 Ra6+ 39.Kd5 Rf5+ 40.Ke4 Ra4+ 41.Ke3 g5 42.Rxa7 Rxa7 43.Rxa7 g4 44.Ra1 g3 45.Rg1 {I offered a draw here as I couldn't see how black could keep the pawn.} Kg7 46.Rxg3+ {#d}
