pjohnsontennis: 42 Rd5 was a slick move to return the exchange and aquire a winning ending

|
pjohnsontennis: Though 62 moves, this game looks to me to be positionally won for White after move 13!

| |
|
pjohnsontennis: I agree that this is no draw. Black king is too far away, white king will hold up f pawn, and rook will stop h pawn

| |
|
pjohnsontennis: Never mind that, because Rc2 would hurt

| |
|
pjohnsontennis: f7-f5 certainly looks dubious. Pressing to win.

pjohnsontennis: If white plays 44. Rxc2
and then black plays:
44....Qg4+
45 Qg2 (Rg2 loses to ... Qxd1+ 46. Kh2 Be5+ and Qh5#)
45 ...Qxd1+
46 Qf1 (not Kh2 Be5+ 47. Kh3 Qh5#)
46... Qxf1+ (not ... Qxc2 47. gxf6 which looks bad for black)
47 Kxf1 Bxg5
and white won`t be able to stop ...

|
pjohnsontennis: You are right I didn`t look closely and even realize whose turn it was!

| |
|
pjohnsontennis: Didn`t white throw away the draw here (thinking maybe he could win?) by not playing 69 Rxe5. ?

|
pjohnsontennis: I love the bold king moving up the board not afraid of any possible checks
