You are supposed to do it first and ask questions.

It looks very well played to me. Both you guys know your openings (Sicilian Dragon) well, and endgame, too. You even drew when down a pawn. If there were a chance for somebody to win, I believe it would have been in the tactical middlegame. I didn't see any winning moves, but some interesting candidates to have considered were:

(1) 17. e5 instead of 17. g5, in order to give Black doubled isolated pawns and to force him to possibly retreat his knight via ...Nxd8 after exchanges on d8.

(2) 19. f5 gxf5 20. exf5 Rxf5 21. Bd3 Rf8 22. g6.

(3) 29. Bd3
