~~~Anyone that has played me would know that I hate draws and try for the win in every game; in this game, very short on time (under 20 seconds), I could not risk the attempt to win when my opponent was doing nothing but look to win by my timing out, so I decided to move quickly back and forth so I would not time out and then just claimed the draw since my opponent was clearly not looking for a win. Anyway, maybe there wasn't a win for him to be had so he figured just wait for me to time out although I think he did not understood that the game was 10|7 and as long as I don't wait too long, I could keep playing without timing out. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Should've played Ka4.

You missed a win on move 25 when you missed 25...Bb6 exploiting White's overworked Bishop. You get a decisive material edge after either 26.Bxb6 Rxd6 or 26.Rxg6 Bxc5 (check!) followed by hxg6

You tossed away most of the rest of your advantage with 26...Bxc3? The Bishop pair has real value in these open positions, and you gave it away for almost nothing. All you got was a weakened c-pawn, but it wasn't on an open file, and it wasn't on the same color as your Bishop, so exploiting it would be difficult. Also, if the rooks are ever exchanged, you will be left with opposite color bishops. Bishops of opposite color endings are famously drawish. It's often impossible to win two pawns up. Much better was 26...Bb6+ followed by f6, taking squares away from White's knight
