Please see the game below. It was drawn although I had a big advantage after move 6 (captured White's queen). However later in the game, I have made a few mistakes myself:
24. ... Qe6 (thought I could exchange the rook for a knight with the advantage I had)
33. ... Ra6 (didn't notice the possibility of check)
But anyhow, after all this messing up, I still have 1 pawn advantage. So I thought that I could still win. But in the end I was lucky to be able to force a draw.
I have two questions:
- The mistake @ 24 was just stupid, but how should I have tackled the situation in move 33?
- Did I have a chance after move 34, although I just lost a rook? I guess 2 rooks in the endgame are very strong, but I find it difficult to judge the situation.
Thx for your help!
