This is one last hope for a mistake from black. I was hoping for Rb2?? allowing Qe5 check

 
41... Rb1
But he doesn't fall for those. Thought the b pawn is going, and then is it clearly drawn. May as well accept.

 
42. Qe5+
check again

 
42... Kg8
King goes back

 
43. Qe8+
and draw agreed, on my proposal. Many thanks for reading this, and I look forward to reading your comments! Please rate the annotation on the star scheme of rating, so I get an idea how I am doing.
