58??
its not finished so dont give any help with 58 ( i think it will be a draw)!!
i think 11.Bg5 ended up wasting time, and isolating my h-pawn although i did end up getting a couple of pawns later on.
black made a serious blunder with 25...Rxh5
then i made, at best, an equally bad move with 32 Qh6.
bear in mind that black is rated about 1275 and i am just starting to play 'rated' chess
thanks for any help

You cannot analyse a game until it is over. The moves above are from one of your current games. You have to finish it before anyone can comment.

Amleto, the reason that others may not analyze your game until it is completed is because any analysis done on previous moves may help you make decisions about future ones. The exact analysis will not apply to the position at hand, but some of the basic ideas might.
To your game:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. Bxc6 dxc6 5. Nc3 Bd6 6. h3 O-O
Well, okay, I suppose. In Spanish Exchange situations, I prefer queenside castling. Then again, Black did choose to play solidly with the Berlin Defense...
7. d3 Re8 8. Be3 c5
I prefer 8... h6 and 9... Be6.
9.Nd5
Provocative.
9... Be6
Or 9... Nxd5 10. exd5 e4, opening the position while possessing the two bishops.
10. Nxf6+ Qxf6 11. Bg5
Forcing the queen to a good square. Awaiting developments with 11. O-O might be simpler. Truthfully, though, I don't see an obvious way for White to exchange pieces off the board and reach a favorable endgame.
11... Qg6 12. h4 f6 13. h5 Qf7 14. Bd2 f5
The wrong pawn break. 14... c4 15. dxc4 Bxc4 liquidates the doubled pawns while retaining the two bishops. Not to mention that 14... f5 allows White's next move.
15. Ng5 Qd7 16. Qf3 fxe4
Dropping pawns and exposing the king to harassment. Much better is the simple 16... f4, with an equal position.
17. Qxe4 h6 18. Qh7+ Kf8 19. Qh8+ Ke7
Or 19... Bg8 20. Nh7+ Kf7 21. Bxh6 which is also unpleasant for Black.
20. Qxg7+ Kd8 21. Qf6+ Qe7 22. Qxh6
Picking up three pawns instead of only two with 22. Nxe6+ Kd7 23. Qxe7+ Rxe7 24. Nxc7 Kxc7 25. Bxh6 is better.
22... Kd7 23. Nf3
Forcing an endgame with 23. Qxe6+ Qxe6 24. Nxe6 Kxe6 25. g4 should be an easy win for White.
23... Reh8 24. Qe3 Bg4 25. Ng5
Giving back a pawn.
25... Rxh5
Oops. 25... Bxh5
26. Rxh5 Bxh5 27. Qh3+ Kc6 28. Qxh5
And White is simply up a piece.
28... Rf8 29. Be3 Qf6 30. Ne4 Qe6 31. b3 Qe8 32. Qh6
Returning the material gains. 32. Qxe8+ Rxe8 33. Nxd6 cxd6 and Black's prospects look bleak.
32... Rh8 33. Qf6 Rh1+ 34. Kd2 Rxa1 35. Nxc5
Better is 35. Bxc5, piling up on the d6-bishop.
35... Qe7
35... Qh5 (with the serious threat of 36... Qd1+) 36. Kc3 when White may have nothing better than a draw by perpetual check after 36... Rxa2.
36. Qf3+ e4 37. Nxe4 Qf8 38. Nc3+
Decisive is 38. Nf6+ Kb5 39. Qxb7+ Ka5 40. Qxa7+ Kb5 41. Qa4#
38... Qxf3 39. gxf3 Bb4 40. a4 Bxc3+
I don't like this. White has the winning chances so Black should be trying to trade pawns, not pieces.
41. Kxc3 a6
Or 41... Kd5, centralizing the king while preventing White from doing the same.
42. f4
Or 42. Kc4
42... Rh1
Again, 42... Kd5
43. Kd4 Rh8
Better is 43... Kd6, preventing White's king from penetrating to the kingside.
44. Ke5 Re8+ 45. Kd4
Allowing his own king to be cut off from the kingside. 45. Kf6 with the idea of pushing the f-pawn.
45... Kd6 46. f5 c5+ 47. Kc4 b6 48. Bf4+
Better is 48. d4 cxd4 49 Kxd4 with a passed f-pawn and the possibility of creating another passer on the queenside.
48... Ke7
White will have a tough time making progress after 48... Kc6
49. Bg5+ Kf7 50. f6
Dropping a pawn, but more importantly, giving Black the time to position his rook behind White's pawns.
50... Re2 51. Kd5 Rxf2 52. Kc6 Kg6
Or 52... Rxc2 with a likely draw.
53. Bh4 Rf5
53... Rxc2, and again Black can probably draw.
54. Kxb6 a5
Pointless; the pawns will fall anyway. Black might as well remove White's passed f-pawn with 54... Rf4 and 55... Rxf6+, although White should still win.
55. Kxa5 Kh5
Better is 55... c4+, although White is still winning after 56. Kb6 cxd3 57. cxd3
56. Bg3 Rxf6 57. Kb5 Kg4 58. Bb8 Rf5 59. Ba7
And White wins. Black's king is far from the queenside and a lone rook is no match for a king, two passed pawns, and a bishop.
59... Rf2 60. Bxc5 Rxc2 61. Kb4 Kf4 62. a5 Ke5 63. a6 Rh2 64. Kc4 Ra2 65. a7 Ke6 66. Kb5 Kd7 67. Kb6 Kc8 68. Bb4 1-0
