All I can say is wow. I thought I was in control the entire game and then I blew it. I would like to analyse this game to see where I went wrong. If anyone would like to comment on the game I welcome it.

Congrats to my opponent.

Game 1105486😕😳:'(

It's not hard to see where you lost this game. Your 51st move was not forced as far as I can tell and it was a tactical blunder that gave your opponent your Rook. That's why you lost.

...from this position, you played 45 Ne6+....

I think you may have been better off by playing dxc4, leading to a R,N and P vs 2 P endgame. Both black's pawns were passed pawns, but they were also isolated. you would have had a passed pawn in the c file, and even though it could have been caught by Black's King, you could then have taken out both of Black's pawns and won with your Rook.

45 dxc4 gave you an easier endgame win by getting rid of Black's Knight.

After 45. Ne6+ K f5, you could have played Rg5+, allowing Black to take your Knight, after which you could have captured Black's knight and then taken out the h pawn with your rook, leaving black with an isolated e pawn, easy prey for your King and Rook.

This game looks like it could have gone either way, several different ways... an interesting play-through...
