I just stopped the game as it was over. I've noticed that the Citrine will not resign! If the black King moves to g1 all white has to do is move is bishop out and then bring it back to the A8-H1 diagonal to take the pawn if it ever does move to G2. At that point white will queen the A pawn.
Something very interesting as I mentioned in my last post. Fritz 10 gave 20. Kh2 TWO question marks (like I should have been beat shortly thereafter). The way the game played out after me playing 20. Kh2 5 moves later is here (after move 25):

Fritz suggested to play e7 on move 20, and of course in hindsight that looks to be better. White in no longer having to deal with the pesky pawn on the f file.
Here is how Fritz sees the position at move 25 with best play if 20. f7 is played:

So, as you can see the second position is preferable, but white still wins in the first position.
I also noticed that later in the end game I could have made some moves that would have made the end quicker. This game was played at a 30 minute time control and I only had about 2 minutes left on the clock. I feel that justifies it :)
Please play over this game and give me any thoughts. thx
