đ 20.Bb5!
In essence, this is about overworking the rook or at least exploiting its inability to undertake two important tasks simultaneously. The rook needs to stay in touch with the e-pawn and be ready to back up Black's queen too, but the attack on the d7 square renders this impossible. 20...Re7 21.Qa3! Qxa3 22.bxa3+- with the idea of d6.

đ 35.Bxd6!
So delightfully simple. Making way for an invasion on b6 which in conjunction with the a-file will make Black's position creak at the seams. 35...Bxd6 36.axb5 axb5 37.Be4!+- intending Qb6.
