In retrospect do you think I should have gone 41..RdRh7 double attacking your H pawn or perhaps it was a draw all along? } { spoke: In the middle game the d4-pawn was my achilles' heel, couldn't save it. I was lucky that I could save the draw with a little 'R-sac', again at d4. - Yes, 41.- Rdh7 looks like a good plan, opens the somehow closed position and results in a strong free f-pawn, if wh-pawn and bd-pawn and the R's are exchanged. Thank you for the game! } 1/2-1/2
