Major improvements:
* 23.Kf2? (23.Qd8! Qf8 24. axb7 Bxb7 25. Qd7 Qg7 26. Qxe6+ +- with a huge attack and material advantege)
* 31.Bxa6!? (31.b4 doesn't let Black's pieces back into play, but the text is winning as well)
* 34.Nd4?? gives away the huge advantage (34.Ne5+ Ke7 35.Nc4 Kd7 36.Ra8 Nf6 37.b4 Kc6 38.Ne5+ Kb5 39.Rb8+ Ka4 40.Nc4 +-)
* 40.Rxd3? (40.Ng7+ and now Black has to sacrifice something for the c-pawn)
