A brilliant marathon win of 74 moves in an unrated game on letsplaychess.com. Nothing fancy seems to happen but i slowly wore my opponent down in what i felt was a good performance from me.

It will most likely be my last game on that site as i don't like the very limited options they give you unless Ur a member. Chess.com in this regard is leagues ahead as far as I'm concerned.

So sit back and enjoy a simple hard fought win against a solid opponent.

P.S. Because of its length i decided not to annotate this game to much, but if u have any improvements by all means do so it will always be appreciated.

I think he should've played 23 Rhg1 with a strong attack.

wow, it's hard to believe that white didn't break through on the kingside there. It looks like white had a solid lock on the position for quite some time so you did very well to come back and win.  41. ...b4! looks like a highly educational move.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just because an attack looks fatal don't mean it is as u noticed. I knew it wasn't going to crush through easily because of how my pieces and pawns were organised.
