Hello everyone! I played a good game against a then 2200+ player i felt i was winning due to having a bishop against his knight in an open position and his pawn doubled on the king side added with that, my (a)pawn looked promising. Pls let me know ur thoughts on if it was a win or not.

P.S. My response if he played Nd4 was Bd5 since rook couldn't capture it and i had threat on f7 pawn.

Your position looks good, especailly against such a well rated player.

I know the time wins are frustrating, especially when your position is strong (I myself have lost games in Live Chess where I had a great advantage, but the clock ran out on me!).

I'm not sure if mate was guaranteed, but your prospects were very good!
