Just asking if one, or several, of you who routinely review games would please look at a recent one of mine. Historically, I have not done very well against players who were more than about 100 points higher rated than me, but in a recent game against a player who was 220+ higher than me I managed to win. Granted, the final result was determined by a timeout, but the material was even and I think that, had the game continued, I would have eventually been able to take his c-pawn and promote. My real interest is in finding out if I simply played above my head or if my opponent missed some opportunities--I've looked at the game several times and can't come to a conclusion either way.
I can't seem to make the PGN do right, but the game in question is 9415164.
Thanks.

I wonder if white can still win after 29...Bc8.

Posts like this one are completely pointless. You could just as well say that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes. The problem is how you know this.
