The only way to try for a win would be to escape with the king to b6 giving up all pawns at the king's wing: very risky.
Draw by repetition

Yeah, after analyzing I realized that 31. Kh3 would be useless. Thanks for the response! Did I do any very weak moves in the opening/mid-game?

I am thinking kh1 would of been best.
Edit: you would still lose the extra pawn so likey a draw anyway
While we're here, this is the game that got me to 1300, my first goal. Very dissapointed since my opponent disconnected. Who do you believe has the positional adventage? My king doesn't look safe at all, but I believe my development of pieces are better. Any comments?
Your king is perfectly safe there. Black would need three moves just to give a completely innocent check, and you can even win material if he actually makes those moves.
Your development is way better, and a bishop and a knight are better than a rook and a pawn in a position without open files.

Thanks, it's always nice to know that you would've won a game that was distracted by technical difficulties! I would appreciate any to know about any mistakes that you guys might find =)
Did I let the win go? Should I've done 31. Kh3 instead? Thanks!
