In this game I sacrificed my Queen for a piece, a rook with a pawn ahaed. In theese type of positions a single mistake can be decisive.

I think on 36, King takes Bishop instead of Knight takes rook forces draw by infinite check of promoted pawn to Q

Doesn't 31...dxc2 give black the win?  White has to push the f-pawn in order to slay the promoted piece and in the process blows up his entire position.  Violence ensues.  I think a reflex aversion to doubled-pawns might have caused black to overlook the possibilities (perfectly understandable given the time constraints).

 I actually think ...C2 might be more decisive, as it forces the white queen to take up a defencive position, although the pawn should promote in a few more moves regardless.
