The game has ended in a stalemate... Was there a line I should have followed to where I could Promote before he could get his King in the corner?

there was, I can't remember when, you got to give my king room to move and I think if you had put your king behind your h-pawn to stop me from going to g7
Anyways, I sent it up for analysis.

here I made a few more moves any comments ?
12.Na3 Rd8 13.Nc2 d5 14.Bf3 Be6
yes I was aiming for the control of d and e-file taking advantage of white delayed of castling
First, the diagram reads 12..Re8 instead of 12...Rd8 as it says in the text. Which is correct?
Several possible moves here. 12...d5!? 13. exd5 Rd8 14. c4 c6 15. Bf3 Be6 16. 0-0 cxd5 17. cxd5 Nxd5 is a more forceful way of carrying out the idea played in the game. I like the plan none the less, busting open the center and exploiting that white has his Q&K on the open files in the centre.

sorry jokernTP I am half asleep today is actually Rd8 aiming at the white queen and I've fixed the diagram
Here is what the analysis has to say about opur game: =>

Towards the Endgame, I hit a fork in the road, and it left me to choose one of two moves... Unfortunately, I should have put you in check with my Bishop and I would have a decisive dvantage.

Is the analysis better whe you upgrade your account? I tried the free version and it was abysmal. It missed a ton of things, including mate in 1 in a subvariation. It said it was supposed to be at approx 2000 level. It was not even close to that.
Gold Members get ~2200 strength...

It's some very nice features on chess.com and I'll probably uograde my account, but I'll be careful taking the computer analysis without doublechecking for the time being,
Nice complications in this game. Love positions like this. I looked ahead a bit, but i'll let kco advance the game before commenting on the moves ahead.

15.exd5 Nxd5 (I think is better than Bxd5)
16.Rd1 Rd6 17.Qd4 b6
16.Rd1 Rd6 17.Qd4 b6
I wasn't sure weather to exchanged queen or not.
here what I wrote down in my note:
17...Qxd4 18.Rxd4 Nxc3
18.Nxd4 Nxc3
17...Nb6
Instead of taking your Pawn, I probably would change it to 15. e5.
ADK
15. e5 looks strange. 15...c5 or 15...Ng6 then 16...c5 should give black a comfortable game.If 17...Qxd4 18. cxd4 and not a recapture with a piece.
17...Nb6 18. Qf4 Rxd1 19. Bxd1 Bc4 20. Ne3 Re8 21. Qxc7 Bb5 seems to be the critical line to me. If 22. a4? then 22...Nd5!! is crushing. 22. Be2 Nd5 also looks devastating for white, but I'm not quite sure. Can white improve on move 18 or 21?

17...b6 18.0-0 Nf6 19.Qe3 Rad8
I think I am doing pretty well here.
on my note: 18.0-0 Nf6 19.Qf4 Rad8
It looks like you are in a winning position here.

I think earlier i should have exchange with the queens, it would have alter your pawn structure.
With my computer analysis, it said white is slightly ahead !
Whites pieces looks a bit more coordinated. The pressure along the d-file is a bit superficial, Rxd6 next and white should have a comfortable game. I wouldn't call it a winning position though, just a slight edge.

20.Rxd6 cxd6 I think is would have been better ...Rxd6, what was I thinking maybe I was hoping my d-pawn can be a potential passed pawn ? 21.a4 Qc7
after 11.b4 I didn't want my queen at b6 because of 12.Na3 then to c4 might be a problem for me.11...Qb6 12. Na3 Qg6 13. Bf3 f5 doesn't look too bad for black.
