Here is an interesting one for you all. Sorry for this being as long as a TT problem, but it is a good one. Be sure to replay through the problem after finishing to see the commentary!

Good puzzle to post, well annotated. I got as far as bagging the double rook in my mind. When I played it out, I got the next couple moves, but that last one - it beat me, Rd8! very good indeed.

 

Cheers for the puzzle - keep it up.

I would have done 33. Rc8 they move their knight. 34. Rc1#

33. ...Rc8 is still winning, but Rd8 is more to the point.
