your note to the 44th move is wrong...Even IF you could sacrifice the exchange, you would have a rook pawn and you damn better have already shouldered the king away from the pawn cause the rook pawns are difficult to get through.
cool that was quite a long game though

Right. It's more of a plan, and I'm going to win the pawn on g6. My note was what I was thinking during the game, but I may have a mate upcoming.
good game

how would you win the pawn then?
you could actually win the pawn by sacrificing the exchange. However that would be a theoritically drawn position. The passed pawn can't queen and if you exchange it off for the last black pawn then the black king can easily get to the corner before you can, creating a draw.
Edit..now that I look at it again I think you do get to the corner first.
Ok, so for me, this is the closest to a perfect game I've ever been. I definitely couldn't see any mistakes. Also, there was a huge amount of pressure riding on this game. The winner would get a spot on the UW-Madison 12 person chess squad for an upcoming match. Also, if I win this one, my rating should bounce above 1500 USCF for the first time in my young chess career.
EDIT: My note on 44. Ke6 is wrong. The continuation is discussed in comments section
Notable is that this was a g/90 game. Ratings are USCF.
