I like it. Looks good to me (the position below of your analysis).
White is up a piece and a pawn, and with attacking possibilities on black's king side, and with apparent defense for white's king. What I like is that the quick Nd2 move prevents black Qe4, and the pin on the N at f6 remains intact, so that white then next move exf6 taking the N. As GP N with exf6.

I'm go into each section (with a few helpers) and download the pgn.
The hard part is making sure I don't lift one I already have.
You were lucky to draw with Fatty Mark.
You had not need to lose a piece on move twelve. (12...Bd5!)
Did you think your Bishop was trapped or was the idea to play 13...Bxh3.
Your 19th move and his reply is future Blog material. 😉
You missed a winner on move 30 and the final postion does not look drawn.
But that is an ending so for we forgive you and Fatty Mark for that one.
Interesting game.

Originally posted by greenpawn34No we don't! Well done for blagging the draw, but that is as straightforward a won ending as you could hope for. I know it's sad, but often the ending is where the decisive advantage is actually converted, whether it's come from a dazzling sacrificial attack or a long positional squeeze. Understanding how the pieces work in the ending is invaluable, especially the king, and seeing how to simplify to an easily won ending is often the simplest way to convert a material or positional advantage. Sure, it's less glamorous than the tactics, but invaluable nonetheless.

OK. Rant over. Let the tactics recommence.
Hi chessicle.
It takes two to agree to a draw.
Obvioulsy they felt sharing the point was the thing to do.
I'll forgive them two lads for not knowing how to win that ending.
(I'd guess Black knew it was lost. White agreed the draw.)
Let's learn how to drive first, before we start looking at Formula One races.
at the moment we are hitting all the pot holes.
I'd be more concerned about sorting the double clanger on move 19....
Black hangs his Queen and White refuses to take it....
I'd also push more for spotting the shots that drop in your lap, the important stuff,
than learning how to be a parrot in the ending.
Black should have played 30...Rac8 with the double pin on the Knight.
Then he can go into an ending with a decisive advantage. The exchange up.
Perhaps he saw it and thought after 31.Nxd5 Rxc2
White had a Knight fork on e7.
He does but it does not work.
Nursing a plus picked up in the middle game to an ending requires a lot of skill
and understanding of the game.
If you have the plus your opponent will be putting tactical obstacles in your way.
If you are fighting against the plus then your job is to upset his routine as much
as possible.
The books that tell you and show you how to do this choose one sided games by
Capablanca, Rubenstein, Karpov, Petrosian etc etc... We have all seen them.
Beautiful hypnotic examples.
In the real world Queens are getting hung and missed.
Chances to spin the game in one move are missed.
