The game saw:
31...Nb7?
I replied ...
32.f4+
... and a draw was quickly agreed.
However Black had an easy win, starting with 31...f4. After 32.gxf4+ Kxf4 White can try 33.Kd4!? Nf5+ 34.Kd3, hoping for 34...Nxh4?? 35.d6 etc, but Black can play 34...Ke5, after which the h4 pawn will fall.
This may be an example of a lower-rated player being so focussed on not losing that he fails to properly consider winning tries.
