This was a game i played earlier today. I was in lost position but came home with the win. Its the first round of the 2009 Snowstorm tourney the chess club I am involved with. Against a much stronger opponnent, I may have resigned. However i noticed as we were about to transition into the endgame, my opponnent was getting a little fidgety. My instincts told me he wasnt quite sure what to do with the passed e pawn. I made mistakes in mid game, which should have cost me the game. However I decided to persist and see what was going to happen. My color was black. Any thoughts or critisms are welcome.

Unfortunately for him, he discovered the right idea a move too late. 43 Rxe5 Kxe5 44 Bf7 would've won.  And I would never have considered resigning that game--it was a very complicated and difficult ending.

 The tourney director said the same thing to us. Im just glad I got the chance to make up my game in the end game.
