The game is over, I lost...but..
AFTER move 30..(i know there is a lot I should have done before, but I think I could have still pulled it off after)
I know I screwed up on move 44 too...I could have almost evened it out again.

Black didn't play 31... PxR?
I doubt even deep Fritz could pull a win for white after move 30... your pawn wasn't going anywhere as long as blacks knight stayed where it was, and that same knight was impervious from any attack as long as he had that pawn protecting it from your rook.
But then again, the way black was playing, perhaps Fritz could pull it off... ^_^

Originally posted by Rallymoto36Ha, I didn't read the after move 30 part - tbh, that's when it was lost. I just checked Fritz, and it analyzes it as -4 or greater (black has a 4 pawn lead) after that point. Check out my annotations, and you'll see that you had a winning chance just before move 30.

I think you'll see nice improvement with daily tactics:

I don't get what you mean by "I could have almost evened it out" at move 44. Fritz 9 analyzes at -14+ there. 😕 (Black has a 14 pawn lead) I don't see anything you could have done to salvage it.
