After 22.Qc2? Black would have 22...Bxd4 23.exd4 b3-+. Ne4

33. Qd1 White could not free his queenside with 33.b3, as after 33...axb3 34.Rxa6 Bxa6 35.Bxd5 Black had 35...Qb5!, winning.
Qb5
34. Bc3
h6!
This useful (the back rank!) move is very unpleasant for a defender, who has problems finding good moves.
35. h4?!
Be2?(+) Being short of time, I missed a tactical shot, which White's previous move allowed me: 35...Bxh4!. That wins in all lines, for example 36.gxh4 Rg6+ 37.Bg2 Be2 38.Qc2 Qd7! 39.Re1 Rxg2+! 40.Kxg2 Qg4+ 41.Kh2 Qxh4+ 42.Kg1 Re5!! 43.dxe5 Bf3.

Kh7 Black has serious winning chances here due to more active bishop, but playing White 43.Kc2 and aiming to liquidate pawns on the queenside, White could hold this ending.
