This game was a loss for me, but I turned it to my advantage.
Kudos to my white bishop, he saved my life. I never thought I would love that bishop so much one day.
I failed to see the pin on move 28, from a winning game to a lost game, then my white bishop stepped to save me.

I got thoroughly spanked in this blitz game I just played on playchess.com (I was Black). Then I saw one final chance for a cheapo and snatched an undeserved half point before he realised what I was up to.
