26.c4!
QUESTION: Why the exclamation mark? ANSWER: White is not really threatening to take on d5. The exclamation is for cutting off the black rook on a4 from coming back to aid the defence of the kingside. This leaves Black with a knight as the only effective defender while White is ready to bring the full force of his army to the kingside.
26...e5
Black attempts to obtain some activity for his bishop by returning the pawn.
27.Rg3+ Kf8 28.Rxd5 Bc6 29.Rc5+/-.
White's plan is Bd3, Rg7, and Bg6.

Fixing the queenside majority. Black essentially has an extra pawn on the kingside and will win the pawn ending.

White cannot really avoid exchanging queens. After 37.Qf3 Qc2 white pawns start dropping like flies.
