It's a rare thing to say that you played a great game despite missing a quick knock out. The endgame here demonstrates that a two pawn advantage is not necesairly a win. Not the best game, but quite fun:

See the move list for possible variations.

Well, some of his moves are good, if followed up correctly, so 47.g5 dosent deserve a ?? because instead of Fxg5 he could have played hxf5 and it was drawn.

Actually, it's not a drawn endgame.  White could win after 47 h5 (or 47 f5).  He also has a win (not a draw) with 48 hg.

Variation #1 on move 51 goes much better like this:

51. g6 f3 52.g7 f2 53. g8=Q f8=Q+ 54. Ka7 Qf2+ 55.Kb8?? Qb2+! 56. Qb3 Qxb3+ 57. Ka7 Qb7#

The sub-variation in there at move 55 also has a quicker mate, but it doesn't matter how fast it gets done as long as you seal the deal.

Yeah, that should of been 61... Qb5+. I wasn't paying much attention to the variations.
