good title for the end of the game!

unfortunately I was the unlucky guy who played with blacks

I didn't have no choice, just resign before the last pawn become a queen

I think Be8 would have been the better move for black?

If Nxa6 then Bxa4 - the continuation looks more even from there... Black's bishop can always retreat back to e8 to prevent the pawn from reaching the back rank and even if the knight threatens to take from c7, the exchange leaves stalemate with white's king on e8

E the G :)

Yes the knight clearly outmanuevered that bishop. Had nothing to do with having a passed pawn supported on the 7th as well as an extra pawn.
