me vs ex club champion

Yesterday I played a game vs an ex-champion of our local club, with a rating above 2000. I think I played an ok game, even though he constantly had the initiative and a slightly better position thanks to the knight vs my bishop. In the end I made a mistake so I resigned. I was wondering, I i didnt make the mistake, could the game have ended in a draw with perfect play?

Anyway, here's the game. Let me know what you think about it:

Perhaps you could have tried 45. Rc4 instead of Rc8.. If he took there was some open line you might have taken control of..

There is not much more I see that was critically wrong.

yes I had a few moments where I could play Rc4. I couldv'e played it during move 36 as well, I think It would have been a better move during both move 36 and 45.

But do you think I couldve hold the position if I didnt screw it up in the end?

No I think not; I don't think 60.Rb8 was your blunder, but 59. Rc8 was.. After that, It was no longer possible to hold the draw I believe.. (but my analyses surely isn't always right!)

so what would 59 would have been? maybe something like Bc4 or Rb7?

I think you quickly got a strategicly losing position, where white has a good knight and black a bad bishop. Notice how your bishop is very bad as your pawns are blocked on the light squares. White did a good job converting the win.

I added some black lines for a variation where white wins, and alternative blue lines for a way for black to draw.. 

So it might be possible to hold the draw for black

I think something like this could've happened if I didnt make the mistake in the end...

@Flier: you are right, he has a strategical better position during the whole game, and finished it nice, but I still think that the strategic advantage wasn't enough to convert to a win if I made a correct play. And that's the thing that I want to know for sure.

@Wesley; What if white plays 69 Ra8 in your blue line, to go for that g6 pawn?
