It wasn't a dishonest win, you both played by the rules.
I played as Black.
"Did you consider 34. ...RxR ?"
Yes.
Heh, I got confused. Was only going to give you a hard time because I knew you could play better than that... turns out it wasn't you in the first place.

Perennial US Champion from the early 20th Century Frank Marshall called such wins "swindles." A win is a win, though.
Who resigns once their opponent has achieved a "theoretically won position" in chess? No one - we make the opponent show he knows how to win it. Most often he will, but sometimes he slips and allows a draw or even loses. There is no shame in a successful defense, even if it includes mistakes from the superior side.
Nobody wins a game unless the opponent errs, and most games are full of mistakes on both sides. If you worry about winning because your opponent made a stupid move, perhaps chess is not the game for you. Try Go - not that there are any shortage of dumb mistakes in that game, either, but if you try it you will only be annoying Go players and not us.
lol.
But there is some reality to that. In Go if you're ahead you can afford to make many more minor errors than you can in chess. In chess it really only takes one slip and it can completely turn the game around.
