1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nc3 g6 4.e4 d6 5.d4 cxd4 6.Nxd4 Bg7 7.Be2 Nc6 8.Be3 Bd7 9.f3 Nh5 10.Qd2 Rc8 11.O-O a6 12.f4 Nf6 13.h3 O-O 14.Rad1 Nxd4 15.Bxd4 Bc6 16.Bf3 Qc7 17.Rfe1 Nd7 18.Bg4 Bxd4+ 19.Qxd4 Rcd8 20.Nd5 Bxd5 21.exd5 Nf6 22.Bf3 Rfe8 23.Re2 Rc8 24.Rc1 Qc5 25.Qxc5 Rxc5 26.b4 {JB) I don't like this move (BvR) It is all I got to keep some pressure.} Rc7 27.Kf2 Rec8 28.Rec2 Nd7 29.Be4 Ra8! {(BvR) Good plan to counter-attack, in combination with a5.} 30.Bd3 a5 31.a3 axb4 32.axb4 b6 33.Re2 Ra3 34.Rd1 Kf8 35.Rb2 b5! {(BvR) Strong move, destroying my pawn structure, and giving Jamie the initiative through his activated rooks.} 36.c5 dxc5 37.Bxb5 cxb4 38.Rxb4 Rc2+ 39.Kg1 Raa2? {(BvR) Despite my serious timetrouble (2-3minutes left), I had still hope to go for a win, butit was based on a misconception (see comment at move 41). After 39..Bxd7; 40. Rxg2+ black is forced a perpetual check to secure a draw.} 40.Bf1? Nf6 41.Rbd4 {(BvR) When I played 40.Bf1, my intention was to play 41.d6, but now I saw a gost (in time trouble), believing that I would lose my bishop after  41...exd6: 42. Rxd6, Rc1 followed by 43...Ra1. Thereby, completely overlooking that I could protect the bishop by playing one of the rooks to f3 on move 43.} Ne8 42.Rc4 Kg7 43.Rxc2 Rxc2 44.Bd3 Rc3 45.Be4 Nd6 46.Bf3 Rc2 47.Re1 {(BvR) Swapping the rooks through 47.Kf1, 48.Ke1 and 49. Rd2 would have simplyfied the draw} Kf8 48.Kh2 Nf5 49.Kg1 h5 50.Re2 Rc1+ 51.Kf2 h4 52.Be4? {(BvR) The only wrong move! Extreme blunder. 52.Rd2 would have been a simple solution.} Ng3 53.Re3?? {(BvR) It looks I did made this stupid move on purpose to give Jamie a nice finish. But I didn't! After 54.Bf3, I could have still tried for a draw, albeit down the exchange. 
Jamie, it reminded me of our first game we played, 3 years ago, when I was pushing (and winning) most of our game.You also beat me then right at the end, because of a terrible blunder. However, in yesterday's game we were more or less equal from the start. So, you have either improved, or I have gone downhill since then. I want and tend to believe the first option to be the case. This time you played consistently well and took your chances, when they were offered (BvR) yes you are right l took my chances l told everyone I was playing to the death win or lose. no I haven't improve I'm going down hill (jb)} Rf1#
