Aloha Brandon,
Interesting chess game - LCP gave you here!
Looking at the end position I think it does look drawish as its very tricky for either side to move pawns and even some of their pieces safely for a win in either direction. But earlier in the game I will have to get back to you on that! Hm!
So this is me playing Little ChessPartner again. The computer again chooses to play a Morphy-Steinitz Defense like in my previous thread:

I do have to rid myself of the habit of playing 5. h3 but we again arrived at the same position: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 d6 5. h3 Nf6 and in my previous game, I played 6. d3 which is the most popular move in the database. But doesn't it look a little passive? At least I thought so at the time, so others suggested the bolder (looking anyway) 6. 0-0!? which I thought drops a pawn. But pretty everyone there agreed that it's sound. And to support their conclusions, no one in the database responded with 6. ... Nxe4 which surprised me a little, so I decided to go for it here. It turned out pretty well for a test run, but it does produce a very sharp position that I'm not too familiar/comfortable with just yet.
After some, probably unwise, pawn grabbing, material is even, with Black trading two Bishops and a pawn for my Rook and two pawns. Normally, I like having two pieces against a Rook, but Black had dominating piece activity as we transitioned to the endgame, which proved very problematic for me. Ultimately, I didn't feel to bad when the computer wanted to draw (D)
