 [Perhaps, 20.£e3 is stronger, when White is trying to impove the position of his pieces first.] 20...¦cd8! 21.¥c5 £c5 22.¢h2 ¤g6 23.g3 ¤d5 24.¤d5 [And here 24.¥d5!? is better, 24...cd 25.e5 , obtaining a slight advantage.] 24...cd 25.e5 ¤e7 26.¦ac1 £b4? [26...£b6 is correct, preventing the move 27.£b5 due to the queen's check from f2. Then Black plays a7-a6, preventing the queens' exchange and White can hardly claim any advantage here due to suspicious position of his king.] 27.£b5 £e4 28.¥b1 £e3 29.¢g2! a6 30.£d3 £d3 31.¥d3 White's advantage is obvious in the ending. 31...¦c8 32.b4 g6 33.b5 a5 34.b6! ¢f8 35.¥b5 ¦ed8 36.¢f3 ¤f5? During the next series of moves in a time trouble Black does not protect his d5-pawn and White does not capture it. 37.¢f2?
