Fritz seems to have no problem finding the win for black.

*guess that should be expected.

black had the endgame on lock and made mistakes 3 moves in a row

30...fxg2?
why not 30...QxR! 31. NxQ KxR, id consider a queen worth 2 rooks and black has an easy win with an extra rook

31...KxR?
instead of 31...g1->Q, when black is basically guaranteed a win on material

32...Ne4? 32...Nh5 is better

but even with all those moves black is up a pawn on both sides and should win the endgame

true. but what i was thinking was in your game after 31...KxR you guys are equal in material, not including pawns.
after 31...g1->Q 32. RxB you are up in slightly in material, and after you trade rooks and bishops i think a queen has better winning chances then rook knight.

either way, with pawns you're up, i just think you're up more with the queen. your game though
