Woops, meant English, this isn't a sicillian, you can see how I confused this though. Also, excuse me for missing an h several places, my h button is loose and only works half the time.
A fairly complex endgame

Thanks, great analysis. As for your comment on the knight trade I saw no way of using the hole on e4, my knight simply could not go there, so I figured a trade would be fine.

Really? I'm sure I was a lot better off at some point in the endgame.
Just a quick attempt at analysis:
38...Rb8 (threatens Rb1+ Kf2 Rb2+, winning) 39. Ra1 Rb2 (prepares a2 followed by Rb1+) 40. Kh1 (to avoid the check) a2 41. Bg1 (Rb1 can now be met with Rxa2) Be7 (virtual zugzwang; the white rook can't move because of Rb1, and the bishop can't move because of the same move with check) 42. Kh2 Bd8 43. Kh1 Ba5 44. Kh2 Bxc3 45. Kh1 Rxg2 (just to have fun; Rc2 should be stronger) 46. Rc1 Rxg1+ 47. Kxg1 a1=Q 48. Rxa1 Bxa1.
I just finished a game that I was really annoyed with, because I had all the winning chances, but after my opponent defended and te position looked like a dead draw my opponent declined the draw, and with my frustration I allowed im to win.
