show more! shouldn't this position here end in a draw?

I hate blunders too, i even get annoyed when my opponent blunders during a good game.

I think you would have been better off w/ 12. Bxd5, then you either get a strong bishop or knight on d5.  

16. Re1 sreems a little slow, maybe Bg5 would have been better.

20. Ng4 looks worth analyzing, if 20..Nxg4 then I think you're up a piece after 21. Bxe7 because black will have a hard time saving his knight on g4.

You're still perfectly fine and at least drawn if not winning after your blunder as long as you play 34. Rc1 before you push the pawn.

I like 10. Bh6+ Kg8 11.Nd5 followed by Bc4 eventually.. black would be finished

I also think it is possible to draw that endgame with best play by white

I'm a little saddened that the original link is now dead.  Hopefully this one will serve as an adequate surrogate:

i would've played 34.Rc1 out of basic endgame principle, not quite sure about it but i think black has a oppurtunity for a draw by that position

About the draw possibilities, it's important to see that white can not take the pawn right now, due to ...Rc1#! White need to create a "luft", moving one of their pawns.

That means black will have time to defend the black pawn and I guess they will have a large advantage with this extra passed pawn in this endgame.
