the best d4 opening ever!

Ok I learned something from this game! Don't look at the games you resign after the games are over!

I guess this would draw now Cry if black takes my R King takes the idea is to leave my R in the seventh rank so back king can't go forward and eventually trade material to a draw endgame in the right time

Yeah, your analysis is correct you're probably doing ok after 31. Kd2. But hey, that doesn't mean you shouldn't look at the game, in fact it's a good thing when you go back and see something you've missed, it helps you to improve!

Not the first time I do this Cry This is good to teach me not to resign ever! :)

My rule of thumb is (at the moment) if I win, don't look for improvements.  If I lose, see where I went wrong.  May sound crazy, but with the time that I have, it helps me not to go overboard, searching for improvements on games I won (something I used to do).  I just go on with it.

After Kd2 Rxc1 Rxc1 it still looks hard to draw. Still two pawns down, and your king can't move from c1. With your rook on a7, the Black king can still come forward with ...h6 and ...Kh7, or by playing his king to d8 and then Rc7 (I think the pawn endgame 4 vs 3 is winning for black).
