I played this game online and made a blunder. I lost a bishop but played on to see if I had a chance and I did have 🙂

[Edit] The title should've read - with countless blunders

Why did white resign? 38. Kd1 d2 39.Rf1 still seems to hold on.

I see that 37...a4 seems to force three passed pawns but does that help black? Maybe this can draw? I seems the best chance.

If Kd1, c2 +, king has to go back to c1 and then black gets the pawn fork and it looks like the pawn queens to add insult to injury🙂 If Kb1, still runs into c+ and now the king has to retreat again, but away from the action and again, the d pawn advances and it is now supported by the c pawn so it either queens or gets rook or both.

C2+ relinquishes control of d2 for the king.
