36. Rc7
Fritz evaluates this position as a dead draw. During the game I considered playing Rd8 and hoping the advanced g & f pawns would turn out to be vulnerable, but wisdom got the better of me and I opted to avoid any further complications against my higher-rated opponent.

 
36... Re7 37. Rc8+ Re8 38. Rc7 Re7 39. Rc8+
Drawn - which was a moral victory for me as all my other recent outings against experts have gone into the loss column.
