Winning lines (reposted)

Hi everyone, I'd like to see what members of the Chess.com community see in this game. There are no annotations (I will submit a couple of games with move analysis to learn if my understanding is getting better). I have removed both players names from the game (I am one of the players) and would like to see if there are any obvious blunders or winning lines that were missed. This game really represents the first time that I have tried to knowingly execute tightening moves in consideration of long term strategies. (Thanks Chess Mentor.) Any feedback is appreciated. My Chess.com rating is approximately 1500 currently and my opponent was rated higher.

At around 41. white's position looked more favourable. Perhaps if (s)he had not been so eager to exchange, or exchanged the passed white pawn for either the black rook or bishop, or brought the a rook into action sooner there may have been a white victory.

ptfe i appreciate the consideration that you have taken the time to look at the game, if you see a line that works or would have helped either side that would be very useful. maybe if you could articulate which positions would have worked with the line in algebraic notation, it would be easier for me to see how those actions could have been executed without giving (as Silman always notes in Chess Mentor) some annoying counter play. i have examined the section that you noted and i could not work out lines that incorporate your ideas. thanks for looking. cheers.

42. Rf2 then 43. Bd7 to advance the e pawn

black would have responded with 42. ....Rxg3+ 43. Kxg3  Rxg3+ and some annoying counterplay that would have been difficult with what ultimately appears to be a k r fork by the black knight. i will take another look at your ideas after some time to think through the lines a little more.
