The full game if interested:
Note the missed 1-move mate around 30. No need to rub that in, at least I had a valuable endgame. ;)
OK, well first off good job on winning the game Ramned! Theoretically, starting from move 64. and on, the position should have been a draw. This would fall under our "Frontal Attack" Videos, and you should check those out again to be sure you understand some of the principals, but here it is:
Let me know if you have some further questions. Obviously I could go over this in much more detail, but I think if you watcht he videos on the "Frontal Attack" again, you will understand. Thanks...

I'd just like to clarify this a little: The position after 64.Kxe3 is NOT a draw. Only 64...Kb5? finally gives away the draw to White. Instead, 64...Kc5! is still (just!) winning - the rook gives shelter from frontal attacks and gives the pawn precious time to advance a square or two. After 64...Kb5, 65.Rd1 is the ONLY way to draw, all other moves lose.
