Training Game #3

I realize that I need more practice with endgames. Under time pressure, I blundered this game away when an easy draw was available.

… You can find your fatal error of 54. g4+ in an endgame manual with a transposition of moves referred to as a trebuchet.

Why didn't you consider 30. Qf1+ taking the queen's off without losing a pawn?

There's an old saying that the art of winning a won game is reducing your opponent's counterplay.

You grabbed material and his passed pawn got mobile. I think that's the main lesson here.
