Good game - well played both players.

As Ken says, it would have been very interesting if White had played 31. Nc7.

Naturally, playing through a game like this in the comfort of your own home, you miss the drama over the board and - what was obviously crucial in this case - the state of the clocks.

Incidentally, I'm fully aware my 30th move was a blunder and should have led to the loss of one of my rooks had White responded with Nc7 and, after the escape of the Black a8 rook, for White to follow it up with Ne6+ thereby losing other rook!
