lol the dance of the kings

[LeonComposer]

to me it looked like a shame to exchange off all the material, with his king stuck in the centre. I had the impression you were "letting him off the hook" :)

I think Nxd3 was a strategic mistake, trading your knight for his bad bishop. Maybe ..Ba6, trying to trade off your bad bishop, was better?

All the last three games are low volume

[trixapete]

volume is too low but good game

35...Kg6 was winning. Everything after that was a draw.

Why?

Because 36.hxg5 Kxg5 37.Nb4 Kf5 and black gets in. Now 38.Nc6 can be met by ...a5 and then rerouting the bishop to a4 (attacking the knight, removing the defender of the e5 pawn) and it's easy pickings for black.

The queen and bishop check was great. I would say that worked out in your favor. =)

[Sepharite]

Good game! But I'm not a fan of end game, it's too way too easy to make a mistake.

[Ruxistico]

as opposed to what part of the game?

[Hawkhunter07]

Nice! you changed the board color and stuff, looks better than the old one

[rulo0801]
