Power of the Bishop pair endgame

21... Ra8e8 22. Re1e2 g5
An aggressive safety although probably not necessary... c6 or c5 was better
23. Bf4h2 Kg8g7
Giving the Knight a relief square, although Kf8 may have been better
24. Rb1e1 Nf6g8
? Although a sound defensive idea, counter-play is often the best course of action i.e. c5
25. e5 dxe5 26. Bh2xe5 Kg7f8 27. d6 Re7e6 28. Qd3h7 Re6xe5
cxd6 led to disaster... this exchange sac was necessary
29. Re2xe5 Re8xe5 30. Re1xe5 cxd6 31. Re5f5 Qd7e6 32. Nc3e4
Simply looking to take the d6 pawn
32... Ba7b8
Defends the pawn but also covers h2 for later
33. Ne4f6
?? Blunder, this simply loses the piece along with attacking initiative
33... Ng8xf6 34. Qh7xh6 Kf8e7 35. Qh6xg5 d5
Mate in 1 is threatened
36. Qg5e3
? g3 was better, now Black is winning
36... d4
Why not? The Queen can't take, so this pawn move is for free
