Great - I declare you the winner of this round!

By the way what is the best white move after 38. bxc6 Rxd4 (instead of 38 ... Bxd4)?

    I think the best move is 39. Rxb7+ again because all move are forced.
    38.- bxc6 Rxd4 39. Rxb7+ Ka8 40. Na4
    If black plays 40... Rxa4 41. Qxc5 and the checkmate is unstoppable on a7.
    If 40... Rd1+ 41. Rxd1 Bxf2+ 42. Kxf2 and black has to move the knight to d4 to stop the checkmate on b6
