26. Nc6

I had been hoping white would miss this. |

26... fxg5 27. Nxb8 g4

Cramping whites king and pawns, and also preventing the bishop coming into play via h3 where it will eye the e6 square. I also could have exchanged bishops now with ...Nd2 but the exchange would only have favoured white, this is a better move. |

Finally realising that I have no winning chances whatsoever I decide I have to exchange rooks and play to draw. |

32. Rxa1 Bxa1 33. Bd3 Ne5 34. Bb5

Ba6 seems better looking to redeploy to c8 where the bishop would hit e6 and g4 |

|

|
|
34... Kf6
|
I would have liked to get in ...e6 but that just drops a pawn. |

35. Ba6 Bc3 36. Bc8 Bb2 37. Nxe5 Kxe5

And now we agreed on a draw since its an opposite coloured bishop ending, thus shouldn't be too difficult to hold. |
