    just in case somebody's trying to copy and paste it into a database. Stockfish says White could have won on move 43 by sacrificing the Q with Qxf5 (but who'd want to do that if you can win a Q?), and gave up the draw on move 48. A dramatic victory!

      It should be pointed out that my opponent was under some time pressure and almost flagged a couple of times near the end, getting down to single digits (seconds) at least twice. I on the other hand almost lost several times with lots of time still on my clock on the order of 30 minutes before the first time control and close to an hour at the end of the game. I was under the impression that taking the rook would not be helpful as either I get the perpetual or he lands on a square where my queen can join in the hunt but had no choice, I had to keep throwing wood on the fire. I have just started lessons on Playchess.com with GM Viktor Gavrikov and some of the ideas that he has been showing me seem to be starting to percolate in my chess brain.
