Fatal trap - can you see the right move to break out?

-
It has been a while where there are no exciting game to be worth bloging. This is a rather short game - typical start with a minor blunder on my end. I was able to turn it into a deadly trap which my opponent could have avoided if the right move is played. Can you see the right move?

It started drawish and boring

It then suddenly turned into an exciting kill when my opponent made a seemingly small blunder that caused his game.

I win because of my opponent's blunder

This is a rather strong opponent who attacks aggressively. I was down on material Rook for Bishop and pawn. Also with weaker pawn structure. Did a sneak checkmate when opponent overlook the attack in his bid to launch an attack.

RK endgame - a tough fight to win

The game started fairly closed and then after several exchanges, I am a pawn behind. The pawn structure was not symmetrical and I manage to exploit the positional advantage to advance the pass pawns to end with a win.
