Here's a game I finished up recently. I'm playing black, and eventually I won by giving up my extra bishop for the passed pawn, converting to a won rook & pawn endgame. I didn't feel I played it particularly well, though, and I'm looking for recommendations on what I could have done better.
It's not that great because u had him going into that endgame.
Completely agree with tonydal's 39...Rxg5. Trading rooks is your main priority.
43...Rh1+
44 Kg4 Rg1+ was another missed opportunity
rooks belong behind passed pawns, either for supporting them (where he wants to be and you let him do so) or for controlling your opponent's pawns.
