Thank you for the game! This was not an easy one to win!
Prior to finding 26. Rd6 I spent probably way too long staring at the position thinking, "I really ought to have an advantage here but I can't find any way to convert it." Your knights were doing a pretty good job of blockading my bishops so the plan was to find a way to force them away for some kind of kingside attack, or else use the threat of one to get some other concession, but I could never find a line where that definitely worked without your making some kind of mistake. I really wasn't sure I had a win until you played 27... cxb5.

Yeah you were crushing after b5 and really even before that. There was this constant threat of g5 I walked into when I played Nf6 and I was really in a bind after that. Apparently I had the right idea with moving the knight to cut off your rook, but I moved the wrong one. If I didn't play cxb5 you were just winning my pawn with your rook after b takes, so I thought maybe at least I could trade down a bit and fight with the pawns but I was still too trapped. It was definitely a good game, you basically just had more active pieces throughout and I just kept getting slightly worse throughout the middlegame. Your bishops definitely had the advantage after I opened things up, that was probably the thing that lost me the game. Well played!
