Could I have won the game? Also, if you want to see my annotation of the moves leading to the position, move back the move order (I did annotate the game).
Also, the computer analyses cam in- it's supposed to be very drawish.
Good Knight, Bad Bishop

dunno, looks very drawish. But i suppose if u put ur Bishop on c1 and took your king up to c5, you'd have an advantage. But black can vacate the d5 point and penetrate with his king to e6-d5-e4 if your not careful :)

Yes, I think the final position should be a win. White has no counterplay of any sort and you just move your king up to d5 and gradually move everything (king and knight) forward. The key word there is gradually: take your time, go slow, don't allow any counterplay, and you'll probably win. At any rate, even if you can't, he certainly isn't going to be able to...all the winning chances are yours, so you might as well give it a shot.
As far as a concrete variation goes, it looks like after 48... Ke6 49 Bc1 Nb4 he's already having trouble holding onto his d-pawn.
To tell you the truth, I didn't even think about that- then I realized that White's King or Bishop is permanently pinned to the pawn- here, a knight is better than a bishop! By then it was too late, I accepted the draw.
