Tough end game ends in draw

What could I have done differently to prevented a draw and win? Tough draw to take being up material.

well by move 29 you were not at all in a winning endgame, white just had too many pawns. You should have been happy to get a draw from that position

White was actually winning by move 29

Oh I actually didn't look at the game further...

The move 51... Kf5 drew the game for you

50. Rb2 and you win

after you grab the A pawn you can trade rook for pawn if white pawn gets too close to promoting

after that you should be able to get your pawn to promotion square and win

problem was that you didn't have rook in a good position

rook can't do anything on b7 or b8 except trade for pawn so that opponent cant get queen

b2 good square for rook it gives rook more space to maneuver and attacks a pawn

instead of 45. Rb5+, i would have just ran my king over and won all the kingside pawns, and then  moved my rook behind white's c-pawn

42. Rb5+

move 45 was Kg4

No, I think he meant to say room. You don’t get “whole” rooks.

... I mouseslipped a rook in a rapid game when I could've hit 1800 (I was up a piece) and now I'm so look tilted so please don't troll me...
