Calelsdad22: Rxd5 was an opportunistic move as it did 4 thing for white: 1. exposes the black queen for attack
2. preserving d6 pawn which creates a lot a pressure for black 3. cramping down the already cramp position of black, keeping the king in the center 4. a good set up for attacking ...

Calelsdad22: I forgot:
41 ... Kd4 42 Rf4+ will force black to abandon his c pawn and open a lot of mating threat for white

Calelsdad22: <HeMateMe: after 63...Pxc6, 64.Pxc6, one of the pawns will queen?> After 63 ... bxc6, immediate a6 is unstoppable also.
Nice bishop battle.
In the end, white benefited from his advance pawns which gives him more space to move around and forced a Zugzwhang.
