Later RECUVIC did some analysis and found 19. d4!! which would was a winning move for me, though I contest I never would have been able to find it back then (probably not even now).
Excuse me for my ignorance but why is 19. d4 a winning move?
I've looked into the position for some time but I don't see it. Black has three ways to capture your pawn but I don't see that any of the will free up your position for a win. At least an immediate one( 3 or four moves ahead that is)
