Anna played pretty well (and I'm quite a hard person to please!) so it would be a shame if she didn't get something from this game.
Bf5 looked pretty killing as the rooks become huge very quickly. 21...Rd8 would be met by Rxd8 and black has an issue with taking either way: the king takes then Rd1-d7 and if Rx then h7 hangs.
After the bishops have come off things are pertty difficult now, the d pawn is pretty weak and that g pawn isn't going anywhere soon. I'm not convinced by a4 from her opponent though, if Anna can land her king on b4 then suddenly black is in a world of pain. Guess black is in time though, black is quick with Kc5 and b4.
Some rough line is Rd-a6 Ke3 Kd6 h4 Kc5 Rc1 (else b4) then black might have Re8 Re4 and after chopping those queenside pawns are faster than Anna's on the kingside.
Overall, looks lost but she's a wee fighter so you never know.
Come on Anna!!!
