Move 45/46. My decision not to trade rooks, and his decision to trade rooks decided this game. Him trading and allowing my king to recapture rather than his king, gave me the opposition and the game.

I must admit I almost traded and from there it looked a draw. Deciding to take my time and not rush turned this endgame into a win.

On move 33 it was still a draw or win for black. 36 Rb7 was too passive 36Re2 would have taken away a few black pawns. 45 h5?? 45Rg6 i think.

From there on you have played with nice zugzwang.
